What is the likelihood of my depression returning?
I have a history of severe depression. My mom is very against medication and counseling, and reluctantly allowed me to go on the lowest dosage of zoloft. It helped, but now she wants me to go off of it and stop going to my doctor. My fear is that my depression will return. What are the chances of my depression returning, and how can I handle it if and when it does?

Good advice and that has helped with me. Why is your mom against treatment for your depression? If you had high blood pressure or high cholesterol or anything physical, you’d get treatment for that, wouldn’t you? This is no different really.
I’ve found that cognitive behavioral therapy helps me quite a bit.
