No, a depression is indicated when the recession is exceptionally long and severe.
Explanation: a depression is an unusually deep, prolonged recession — most recessions end without becoming depressions. The trough is just the low point of a cycle (not always a "depression"), and economies don't "bypass" recession in the sense implied.
