Dear lybrate-user, Depressive disorders are of many types - like Major Depressive disorder, Bipolar Depression, Mixed Anxiety Depressive Disorder, etc, Each type's treatment is different. In allopathy, we treat with antidepressant and mood stabilizer tablets and various therapies for different types of depressions. Some of the depressions are self limiting, meaning that they go away in due course by itself. Just to give better quality of life, we do use antidepressant tablets and therapy till the depression is lifted.
