Q: how long does it take to get over depression and depressive thoughts
Dear Gilli,
There really isn't a good answer to this quesiton. There are so many variables such as if you have major depressive disorder or are temporarily depressed by something in your life, whether you seek treatment, and more.
If you haven't already, maybe you should talk with your doctor to see if therapy and/or medications are appropriate for you.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more specific answer,
Teri
