you are sucessfully treated for depression do you ever regain the person you once were?

Question:

Answers:
Life is a journey not a destination. As said above life experiences change who we are. That is called experience. If you overcome depression, you become more aware of it and how to avoid it.

Other Answers:
not really. you see the world differently.

Not for me since the death of my gran, im so lost. wouldn't that be a step backward? If you have been successfully treated, you have learned something and one learned, cannot be ignored

no but usually you come out a better person. I did.

Anything we experience changes who we are regardless of that it may be! So depression will change you and so it will coming out of it. Life is but constant change..

I have thought very much about this. I am bi-polar and hate the meds because I do not seem to have the same personality. I am a blog of no emotions. I weigh the good and the bad everytime I use a medication. Also my son has ADHD and I think the same thing for him. bipolar people go from depression to normal to manic to normal and so forth. so its probable, that if you were once depressed, that you are back to normal.

With faith , determination, good friends, family and a dream to follow, you can be a BETTER person than you once were!

yes you regain the person you once were but come back also a changed person stronger and wiser. no you become a better person

No i haven't but that may be because i'm older and wiser, and look and at things from a different view

I am recoverying from a serious depression, and quite honestly I don't want to be the person i was before, it was being that person that led me to become depressed - how i dealt or didn't deal with things and people.

I do not regret having had depression I have changed as a person and have become a better one

No, because none of us are static in life. We grow and develope and prosper. I have experienced depression and for me it was a feeling of being stuck in a rut. What a relief to move on afterwards and learn to not fear change but to embrace it. Maybe you become a better person after been successfully treated for depression, someone that can appreciate happy times because you have been the lowest that someone can be. Then happiness is not taken for granted but cherished.

This is not meant to be funny, but if you are treated and better why would you want to go back?

No, you learn from your experiences and move on. Personal growth - there's nothing like it!
