depression is lifelong. it can be TREATED, but that can mean long term therapy, meds, etc. the goal of therapy isn't to cure depression but to help ppl learn good coping skills & better behavioral patterns to manage depression, as well as medication & sorting through the reason someone has depression. 
depression =/= being depressed. to meet the criteria of depression, u need to have at least 6 months of ongoing symptoms
& mental illness is something that can change ur brain permanently. so trying to fix urself & function like a normal person for someone w severe mental illnesses (even "just depression" cuz i see some people act like it's not "serious enough" ) is not the same as someone without

also this is not necessarily accurate at all what youre saying about depression being something you get over. depression can be chronic. i still have depression. i've learned how to live with it and find joy in my life despite depression trying to hold me back.
I know? haha, but it's not either untrue that you can get over a depression. 
im still wondering what mental illnesses cause a person to become unable to ever feel happiness?
I think you misunderstood me, I never stated that actually. I just found it too "easy" (that feels very wrong to say, because it definitely isn't) to use a mental illness that you can over, as an argument for happiness is a choice. At least that is how I understood ur comment, that you got over your depression, but I misunderstood that.

you're not correct about this or youre confused about terminology. there are multiple kinds of clinical depression and they are not all chronic. you can be diagnosed with depression during a single episode during your lifetime.

Chronic =/= lifelong
no chronic literally means lifelong

yws that's called situational depression, i'm talking about major depressive disorder which is chronic
