    I've known people who have had bouts of depression. I do wonder if a person goes for a long time without being depressed, does the problem correct itself?

      Yes. The brain is plastic. With the appropriate individualized treatment plan the damage caused by depression can be reversed. According to Professor Hickie, "The hippocampus is one of the most important regenerative areas of the brain."
