On a serious note, from a person that has been in the chronic and caused depression:

1- If you have chronic depression, or a chronic illness that causes you depression, it's pretty much over.
Not in the sence that you should give up but in the sence that there is no way of removing it. Maybe if you are one of the lucky ones with bipolar disorder or chemical brain inbalance that can be cured trough medicine, but most often than not, is basically not going back once you are in the pit of depression.
The "bright" side is that despite being there forever, it becomes mundane like 85% of your time awake.

the 15% is a living hell, don't get me wrong, but it does kinda get better in the sence that your brain just doesn't fucking care anymore

2- On the depression with non chronic causes, it can be just as fucking shitty, but the bright side is that it may go away. The shit side is that you can't tell when. It can last decades or days and it's out of your control when it happens

3- Depression can hit you despite of your well being

4- Meds are fucking shit. There is no good cure for depression that isn't for like certain biological pinned down conditions

5- on the question if that books can cure depression.
Yes and no.
You can enjoy and get distracted. Is like a drug, but it will eventually come back once you are done with it and digested the experience.

I cure my oneitis with shitty romance novels but it eventually comes back.

It can cure you short therm

Either way, you shouldn't kill yourself if there is still the posibility that there is a good percent that can enjoy life inside you

What the fuck do I do bros

I am dangerously orbiting the skirts of the light novel addiction

I don't want to become the bookworm equivalent of a korean MMORPG addicted fag
