Absolutely! Sometimes for treatment the person doesn't even have to be depressed![1] Its like all those animal rights activists who get their knickers in a knot when a child dissects his pet dog. Don't they know that while it's alive there's more to learn?

(edit: "While it's alive" could be interpreted as meaning not to engage in invasive, involuntary treatment at all, due to its riskiness. This was not the intention. There's a sweet spot in one's learning where a subject will yield any information one desires of it in its attempt to prevent the inevitable, as concinds implies.)
