Hello, severe depression requires treatment; however, whether it can be fully cured depends on individual circumstances. Depression is a common mood disorder that may arise from various causes. It is characterized by persistent low mood that is disproportionate to one’s actual situation, and in severe cases, may lead to suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
