How long can you be on anti-depressants?

It happened when I was either having a really bad day, or my stomach was so trashed that I didn't want to add any pills to it. At first, I didn't think that depression could be hereditary, but I found out several years ago that our mom's biological mother had suffered with it so severely that she hanged herself in the barn at the dairy farm where my mom was raised in Wisconsin.
We never knew that the grandma that we knew as our own was actually her step mother.
Finally, I wasn't enjoying life at the time that I didn't take my meds, I was severely depressed.

I just figure it is something I have to deal with the rest of my life.
My mother suffered severe depression and refused to treat it.
She self medicated with alcohol which is a depressant. Needless to say it affected our family in a very negative way.
Both my kids have had to deal with some issues as well. That is why I don’t understand people saying they want to get off antidepressants. If they truly suffered from depression they wouldn’t even think about not taking something.
