Sure, but it would be more constructive to explain why it's wrong. GP's comment has some interesting ideas and it would be better to directly refute them than just claiming they're "factually wrong".

Sorry, thought it would be obvious.

> Depression is a disease of despair,

> The question is really how to address the despair.

It's known that people have genetic predispositions to depression. People experience depression due to many causes. Not all causes are known and we don't have very good understanding of the mechanisms, but it's just not damn likely that we can treat this as a purely psychological / environmental issue.
