Depression - which is still not fully understood by medical science - seems to be a combination of mental and physical problems inextricably bound up with each other. By a combination of therapy and medications, many patients are able to live a normal life. But finding the right combination of medications, and/or the right therapist for each person, can take a long time.
There is help for almost all people who suffer from chronic, long-term depression, but by no means is it as curable as something like bronchitis or ringworm. At least, not yet.

Not neccesarily.
Depression can be caused by problems in your life that you refuse to admit and fix. Blaming neurochemicals is easy, but it's much harder to admit that you're,say,just very lonely and need someone.
