Anything is possible. But is it realisitic? Who knows.
It's going to depend on all of the following:
a) whether or not he's proactive about treating his depression
b) how long it takes
c) how long you're prepared to wait (you could miss out on the man of your dreams while waiting and hoping for something which may not happen)
d) whether or not he even wants to try again (make no mistake, if he *really* wanted to be with you he would have found a way to make it work)
e) whether or what it's telling you is true. It may well be just an excuse because he doesn't want to see you all that often.
I would caution you against staying friends with him: Staying friends drags out the recovery period for you. And if/when you're ready to date again, it's going to be very weird for him, you and the new fellow you start seeing.
Edited to add: I just looked over your old posts. You're young enough to have your whole life in front of you...and you've only been with him for 3 months or so. Hon, you really do need to let this guy go. 'No Contact' is the best way forward so that you can recover and move on from him. There will be plenty of lovely men in your future.

Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.
