Had a que to ask regarding depression.

So then I have been depressed for almost 5 odd months now., and am on meds too for curing the same. There are phases when I feel good , but there are phases too where I feel I am not in control of myself and feel depressed and low. The meds do help somewhat in ensuring that whenever those "dark" phases come I recover quickly from it.But still on some days its tough to motivate myself to perform the daily chores. I lack motivation in my life.

There are some factors, reasons and issues that have lead to my depression. Now my belief is that untill I dont solve those issues my depression will never go away. Is it true ??

I mean the underlying problem has to be solved and meds wont solve that for me. They would only provide me with the inner strength, and at the end of the day it is me who will have to solve those issues.

Hope I made myself clear with the above thingy....If not sorry english aint my primary language :(

P.S. : Sorry for such a looong post...zzZZZZ
