I would propose the following analogy as an answer:

1 - Person A has the flu

2 - Person B does not have the flu

3 - Person A treats the flu with rest, fluids and antiviral medications

If person B also rested, drank fluids and took antiviral medications, they would not become an unusually healthy person. Person B would not become the new normal.

What you're proposing is that it's OK to be sick. We treat every other form of illness with aggressive treatments. Depression is often ignored, poorly treated or treatment is inaccessible to many people due to cost.
