Introduction
目前患有抑郁症的Patient是能够治愈的。有部分Patient能治好，有部分Patient需要长期Treatment，具体Treatment情况与Patient社会经历、工作环境、还有Disease的类型、Disease的严重程度等因素有关。如果在早期临床治愈，病人就很可能治愈，如果早期没有达到临床治愈，一般治愈的几率较低。
In general, whether depression can be cured depends on its severity. If experiencing any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Yes
For patients with mild to moderate depression, clinical recovery and restoration of normal social functioning and quality of life are achievable for most individuals through psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, regular daily routines, appropriate physical exercise, social activities, and, when necessary, adjunctive antidepressant medications.
2. No
Patients with severe depression may experience serious suicidal tendencies, extreme negative emotions, and significant functional impairments. Even with comprehensive treatments—including psychotherapy, antidepressant medications, or even electroconvulsive therapy—these patients may still face a high risk of relapse.
To avoid unnecessary harm to the body, it is recommended that medications such as Amitriptyline Hydrochloride Tablets, Agomelatine Tablets, and Paroxetine Hydrochloride Tablets be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician. During treatment, patients should also avoid excessive stress and emotional fluctuations, maintain a balanced schedule of rest and recreation, and support overall physical and psychological recovery.
