dc.description.abstractA person who has experienced depression is at an increased risk of future depressions, yet it cannot be definitively identified who will, and who will not, experience a relapse. This philosophical hermeneutic study offers a view of some of the ways that the possibility that depression may return can be experienced. Three individuals who had previously been diagnosed with depression were interviewed. Findings revealed that, while all participants were aware that depression could return in their lives, some felt marked by it, and by uncertainty of its return. How a person made meaning out of the experience of depression, however, seemed to make a difference in feelings about the future. From the tapestry of experience provided from these interviews, suggestions for societal change in the way that depression is looked at, and talked about, are considered, and ideas for clinical practice are offered.
