It's not mandatory to take medication but if you will it will help you more rather than looking for natural way of recovery. A combination of medication and therapy works the best in order to recover from Depression. Consult both Psychiatrist (for medication) and Clinical Psychologist (for therapy) for faster recovery. You should indulge in excercise. Choose one or two excercise. You can do excercises such as walking, swimming, yoga or gyming. Try to listen to music, go out with family or friends or do activities that you enjoy doing. All the best. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hi lybrate-user. You are stuck with a dilemma that affects many in your situation. Remember that fever can get better without any intervention, the body over a period of time will recover. So do we wait? Similarly depression and anxiety to can recover over a period of time, but it may cause lot of distress and handicap us during the time taken to get better. So if you can take medicines to get better and use you natural techniques to stay better - that would be the ideal situation, But for mild conditions, medicines may not be required. So for your queries - 1. Not, lifelong medicines are not required, provided you do continue with the natural remedies mentioned by you. 2. Cure possible, but this would be decided by the severity of your symptoms and the distress that is present. 3. Exercise ensures that you are better placed to reduce the chances of recurrence and if it were to still come about, it could be of lesser severity.
