Can you snap out of depression? Will it go away on its own?

MYTH

Depression is a real and serious medical condition. It is not a choice or a sign of weakness. It will not be resolved by thinking happy thoughts alone. Changing your attitude can be helpful as part of a suite of interventions, but on its own, it is unlikely to resolve depression in the long-term. It is KEY to communicate how you feel to others and seek professional help.
