Yes, it is possible if you combine medication with counseling/psychotherapy. Counseling will teach you new skills and techniques that will better help to live your life. There will be a lot of other things that you will learn and deal with too.

For chronic depression you have to take life time as your psychiatrist as rightly told. Think you are suffering from diabetes or hypertension, can you leave medicine in between. Chronic depression is also like that. Once you realise your illness you won't be obsessed about stopping medicines. All the best.
