How long does depression usually last for people?

Symptoms last at least two weeks. But in chronic depression, they last approximately 2 years. Because chronic depression tends to be more severe than episodic depression, treatment is also more intensive. The data clearly shows depression rates soaring among kids as young as 12 and young adults up to 25. No age group over 25 has a depression rate higher than 10%, but the younger groups all do, and the rate among college-age adults (20-21) has increased the most.
