This simply is not true, I have friends and other acquaintances who have been through depression and come out of it. The cause of depression can be physical, it can be a reaction to substance abuse or certain medications, it can be due to an underactive thyroid, all of the physical causes can be cured readily just like Vitiligo can be cured in most cases (though I have a friend who's had it for about 6 years now and can't get rid of it).
Here you go with your ridiculous hearsay arguments. I don't give a shit what your friend, your mama, your neighbor or your fucking cat went through. It is a fact that you are 50% more likely to have another major depression in your lifetime if you have one. It increases in that manner every time you have one. If your friend had "it" for about six years, it can definitely happen again. It doesn't matter if it was caused by an outside event. My first depression was caused by a beta blocker. I've been off it for a long time. Still get depressed. Oh, wait, you'll just ignore that first-person experience. How about this? Your assertions go against those of professionals. You. are. an. idiot.

The definition of a clinical illness of any description is an illness that requires the attention of a trained physician qualified to treat the condition. If it's a clinical mental illness it can't be treated by a GP because a GP is not qualified to treat psychiatric illnesses. Only psychiatrists are physicians qualified to treat clinical mental illness. A GP is a professional - but not a professional in the field of psychiatry.
Oh my fucking god. You know so little about this illness it is astounding. Clinical fucking depression is not defined by treatment. Please, oh please, read something on depression. Stop going by your apparently endless train of depressed acquaintances. (Yes, that is an insinuation that you're a liar. Mostly for fun)
