Depression is the symptom you get when your soul is left without sufficient daily nutrition, happening for a longer period.
Now, what does the soul "eat"? Love! In any form, and there are so many.
Depression is actually exploding in our current times, all over the world. How will future generations judge the health state of our current situation? Hmm..
That's cute and all, but your mood is influenced by chemicals (influenced by, or is is beyond the scope of this conversation) and an imbalance in those chemicals will lead to a disorder that you can fix by improving that balance. I'm also not saying loving someone won't do that.
No one says you can solve a malfunctioning liver with love.
edit: Also, depression doesn't just mean being down and the cure for it is 'cheering' up. Depression is an overloaded word.
