Depression and meds

Is it true that some people can literally not recover from depression without the use of medication no matter what they do?

If you exhaust every route of treatment to no avail, then you will most likely face a lifetime of depression.  If your depression is conditional ie; the death of a loved one, then you can recover.  Depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance where only medication can help.  It can be like any other medical condition requiring daily medication to control the symptoms.
