Absolutely. WFH makes me extremely depressed, and it resolves immediately when I return to an office. For me a personal coworking space was enough to stave it off, but an actual office would be much preferred.
as someone who has no problem with WFH, working from home for (and with) someone you don't ever encounter in real life can easily get people depressed.
most people seek for meaningful relationships and purpose in life, not just paychecks.
it's not people's fault if that particular way of working can lead to depression.
There are exceptions and I see how it can act as a sort of safety net group of acquaintances on which you can build... but for most people, work has got to be the worst place to find meaningful relationships and purpose, hasn't it? You can be made redundant in a moment and lose contact, there's money, an explicit hierarchy, and competition making everything awkward, and the purpose is usually questionable (hence the money)

Recently I joined a rowing club and joined a coworking space.
Working remotely is nice. Working out of your living room is intense.
Getting a watch that will tell me when I've been sitting still for too long is nice, too.
