Remission is defined as something like a 70% reduction in depression symptoms. You would need to take the HAM-D or something to get a measurement of your progress.
Lots of people are in remssion from depression. When I first started treatment I was in remission for nearly a full year, Ie the symtpoms for which I seeked treatment for were nearly gone. I twiddled with my meds though and got myself all messed up. Few of us here on this board are probably in remssion, the remitted ones are out enjoying their lives.
