Do you believe that by taking a pill will cure your illness or depression?

It depends. Depression is not one of those things you can pin down as one single thing with a singular solution to it. There are different kinds of depressions caused by different kinds of things. If your depression, then, is not caused by biological factors, then a pill might fix some of the symptoms, but it will not cure the problem. Thus, you will remain somewhat depressed. For example, a pill won't stop your husband from beating you all the time or make your job better. However, if you are bi-polar or have a chemical imbalance, your life can technically be perfect, but you will always feel depressed because you have a medical problem that requires a medical solution. In that case, it is best to see your doctor and do whatever they suggest, which may or may not include medication. One needs to be careful not to over-simplify depression. For some people it can actually be dangerous!
