Typically when it is a long-term depression, it is a chemical imbalance in the brain which is often genetic (as opposed to a reactive depression that usually resolves if the source is resolved in about six months- possibly to 12 months depending on one's response to medication. There are many new medications and psychiatry and pharmacology have evolved significantly in knowing how to treat Depression and PTSD and Bipolar Disorders (which can cause severe depression as a symptom.

Electroconvulsive Therapy- which is done in 3-4 low doses and people go home each day afterwards and are fine (Depending on who administers it. In addition, several major universities with psychiatric facilities (Yale) being one of the largest, have begun microdosing psilocybin in very controlled settings (UCLA, UC Irvine, USC). It is proving very successful in medication-resistant depressions. The final newer option is Ketamine infusions (just a few).

Im not sure where you live, but Talk Therapy is crucial with any of the above and the right psychotherapist and psychiatrist/ psychopharmacologists are essential. READ MORE
