I was skeptical about depression until I saw it in my son. This is a terrible condition with bad side-effects even in a mild form. And the only effective treatment is time.


Some other treatments appear to be effective, at least in reducing symptoms, for some patients some of the time.


> And the only effective treatment is time

...? Depression does not improve on its own, at all. It has to be actively managed.


Passage of time and change of circumstance can provide some help, as some of us can attest.


That is what was implied. The person needs help until time has chance to work.


"And the only effective treatment is time."

I think you mean that time is necessary, not that time is sufficient.
