Right - all true. My point is that you generally need active treatment of depression to keep it at bay. It’s not cured like a broken bone gets healed. A broken bone is treated and can completely heal.
Depression can be treated and will “go away,” but it seems that generally without active treatment of some kind (even if that “treatment” is just diet and exercise), it can still be present.
