Depression tends to be episodic, can run in families, and can sometimes be triggered by a major loss. Getting help is the key to learning to change the stinking thinking that can color your view with depression and learning tools to cope. It is definitely treatable. Trouble does not last always.

It depends on which antidepressant you are trying to discontinue. Depending on the medication, some are longing acting then others. It also depends, on how long you have been on the medication. I do not recommend stopping the medication on your own without discussing it with the prescriber. Some shorter acting medication, may have a withdrawal syndrome, ie, headache, nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and the risk of worsening depression.
