> Does clinical depression mean that you have to be on medication forever? I'm feeling so much better after close to a year on Celexa and feel i'm ready to go off but afraid to go back to the black hole.
James here....
Clinical means your depression fits the clinical definition for depression. many people find depression is chronic and needs treatment life long. It is good practice to taper off meds after a year or so to see if the depression returns.
