Hope I understood your question correctly- you wish to know whether depression can be cured with medicine and whether it will recurr if you stopped the medicine. In treatment of mental illness- we consider remission as the appropriate word instead of cure. Antidepressant medications are effective in treating depression into remission so the person's condition improves back to normal. If depression has a recurring pattern then stopping the medication may result in relapse of depression hence it is advisable to continue to take the antidepressant medication to prevent further relapse. If the condition only improved till 90% and had the condition for 10 years it means you will still need to continue the fluvoxamine. Hope that answers your question.
