In my personal opinion a person can't 'get over' depression, but things can get easier over the course of time and depending on what steps that person takes to help reduce its effects.

I've suffered depression since I was 11, I'm now 24 and it's still here but it's certainly a lot better than it used to be.

I used to suffer depression so severely I would often contemplate suicide to the point I even began attempting on several occasions where I eventually ended up in hospital and had to be referred to a counsellor. Cutting a long story short, I spent a lot of my time working towards improving how I felt. There are times when I feel really down in the dumps, where I feel like I wonder what I'm doing, but it's certainly no where near as bad as it used to be because of the steps I've taken to help myself.
