Yes, I absolutely think so. I suffered from deep depression for 10 years. I still struggle off and on with some residual stuff. I figure I always will as I think that the predisposition is probably genetic but I think that people can overcome just as some may be predisposed to being overweight etc. and can overcome.

The joy of the spirit is an abiding hope separate and apart from happiness/depression in life.
