Why should I take a tabloid story that refers to a study which is unaware of profound cross-cultural differences in what depression is seriously?
Like obesity, it is an acquired, habitual disorder due to certain "standards of life", overconsumption and resulting pathological behavioral patterns, similar in nature to autoimmune diseases, BTW. It is due to major environmental, not genetic factors.

Then, like any culturally-mediated behavior, it changes over time. People responded to CBT before, now they respond less. Chemical interventions sometimes work. I'm confused by your stubbornness on this point.
