Will depression recur

Depression may recur.

Treatment of depression takes time and patience, and symptoms may recur if the patient does not receive adequate treatment. At the same time, stressful events in life, such as unemployment, relationship problems, financial problems, etc., may trigger a recurrence of depression. In addition, depression may be related to genetic factors, and if there is depression in the family, the individual's risk of relapse may increase. In addition, unhealthy lifestyles, such as irregular diet, lack of exercise, long-term smoking, alcohol consumption, etc., may affect treatment effectiveness and increase the risk of relapse.
