Is it normal for depression to come back? I felt like I worked through it years ago but now it's back.

It is a very normal thing. It is called a relapse. This is usually caused by a trigger and only last for a short amount of time just try to remember that you beat it once and you can do it again :)

Yes, unfortunately it is not uncommon to have multiple episodes of depression during ones lifetime.

Yes - depression is a mental illness, and for some people, it will never go away. Sometimes small things can trigger depression - like missing the bus, or dropping a book on the floor. But that's okay, though. It's okay to seek help even though you haven't needed it for a while. If you have battled it before, you can always battle it again

Yes, it is very normal to experience depression once, twice, or dozens of times. It's all good. :)

Absolutely. Depression can be caused by traumatic incidents and those never go away. We get stronger, we learn to cope, to process, to gain perspective but they never go away. And all it takes is a trigger, and sometimes it can be a trigger you don't even know. For example, let's say that during your darkest days you were in college, and sometimes while there, while depressed, you were around someone that wore a perfume that can be associated with that bad time in your life. Sure enough, years later, you smell that smell and your mind associates it with your trauma. Next thing you know, you are feeling pain, depressed, sad, and you have no clue why. Or someone maybe says something that is a trigger from years gone by. WIth me, it's negative statements that resemble what my parents said when I was young. It doesn't even need to be directed towards me. I catch it quickly nowadays 99% of the time but sometimes, it just happens. If left unchecked, it can come back full force.

Yes, if you have been depressed before. But its nothing like you cant tackle it. If ypu managed to tackle it once then you can do it again too! Just have faith in yourself!

It is entirely normal for depression to come and go. It is considered an illness, so even if you fight it and feel like it's gone, it's still there. Try not to shame yourself because it isn't anything you did or didn't do.

Sometimes depression has no apparent cause and can happen at any moment in our lives. People experience depression in different ways depending on the type of depression and individual differences. Some deal with it only once, in patches, or throughout most of their life.

Yes. It is normal. (In my opinion) most people end up becoming depressed again. Why? I'm not really sure. It just happens.

It is natural for it to come back, No matter how cheesy it sounds you just have to stay happy and keep being strong.

Definitely normal, often depression comes in waves, or if someone has experienced it before, it is more likely to resurface. This is not at all out of the ordinary and you should not feel bad about yourself, seek help, and you can definitely work through this again.

Of course, you will experience many relapses in your life time, the only difference is you will be more prepared for the next. Depression is going to be very difficult to get rid of completely. But there's fight in you, I know you're going to be able to win this.

Yes it is normal and pretty common! It's usally referred to as depression relapse. Depression is often cyclical or triggered by an outside event. Your depression coming back is absolutely not a failure on your part. You are a survivor and you can work through it again. If you do not already have a counselor, try going to https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/ to find a therapist near you to help you work through it.

Depression is a lifelong disorder. You will have ups and downs but just know that you will have better times.

Yeah it is perfectly normal. In fact, one of the facts about depression is it never really goes out. You can feel normal for a long period of time, however, any triggers may pull you towards the depression. Depression is not a switch that can be closed on and off. It comes due to triggering thoughts/ memory.

Yes it is normal. It's most likely the stress that you are going through right now. Try and relax and maybe tell someone about it so they can help you go through this so you're not alone.

Depression never really goes away, it's just managed. Sometimes things happen in our lives that can set us back a little bit in our depression recovery. It is best to speak to a professional if you're feeling bad again, and identify the triggers.

Depression often comes back but just because it comes back doesnt mean you can beat it again as you have beaten it once so you are able to do it again

Yes, this is normal. Anything can bring back depression. I once went several years before becoming depressed again for a different reason. It's ok if it comes back, take your time to work through it and do you.

In my experience, it did come back. However, I felt like I was more prepared and able to overcome it easier than I did the first time. Just remember it doesn't last forever and you will get through it.
