How Is It Possible for a Person to Leave Depression Behind Without Medical Help?

Question by Colin: How is it possible for a person to leave depression behind without medical help?
I did just this after 3 years of depression.

My depression culminated in an attempted suicide at age 10.

The modern view in medicine is that suicide is a consequence of failing to cope with “depression”.

There is plenty of information regards this topic online, but hardly any on how a person can overcome depression without medical help, this is why i want to know what you think is a persons reason/s for leaving depression behind without medical help.

Thanks.
