Once depression resolves, you may be able to handle the chronic stressor better. But yes, a constant stress does put you at risk for relapse of the depression. Hence counselling on how to deal with this stress will help you.
The medicines may be stopped if your doctor advises you so. They need not be continued for lifetime.
Next Steps
Consult your psychiatrist for guidance regarding management of the chronic stressor.
