As for the one-third of individuals who didn't reach remission, possible explanations include:
* There may be some depressions for which medications don't work.
* Individual biological and genetic differences, as well as life circumstances and other medical conditions, may render some medication treatments ineffective.
* People suffering from long bouts of depression might have been helped earlier in the course of the disease, but may not achieve remission after lengthy chronic depression.
