As someone who has suffered from Clinical depression I can authoritatively answer yes, provided you have sought proper medical help and stick with the treatment plan.

My depression was brought on by an auto accident where I was the victim, meaning I did nothing to cause the accident. Yet I was the only one of 5 people in three cars to be hurt and transported to the hospital. As a result of the accident I am disabled and forced to retire at an early age. Between the pain resulting from my injuries and the life changing events, as well as everything else that goes on with this kind of accident, I became clinically depressed.

It has taken a lot of therapy and with medication, both for my injuries and depression I am able to lead a fairly normal life. Fairly meaning within the constraints placed on me by my injuries.

Frankly I am a hard headed type "A" person and if I can adjust to living with what caused my depression and climb above the depression so can you. Is it easy, no? Then nothing good ever comes easy. Work with your therapist; take your meds if you are prescribed any. When you realize what is actually causing your depression that is you and your therapist work to fix it.

Good luck and write to me if I can be of any help in the future.

I don't want to sound like I know everything about this; I don't have a license, but yes, a clinically depressed person can recover and live their life as before. Clinical depression is like a period one goes through and with help can get over and go back to their normal lives. Unless you have chronic depression or a major mental illness, it won't affect your life at all.
Once you find out what the problem is clinical depression can be treated.
