Extending from your outline:
Another source of depression is the realization that your life cannot work unless the world at large radically changes. Maybe you know what needs to change, but not how to make it change. Maybe you know what and how, but you also see the high cost involved where becoming the revolutionary leading the charge just lands you in prison or other drama and fails to get you the happy life you desire. Even if it benefits people who come after you, it won't benefit you. There is nearly zero hope of achieving a fulfilling life.
Death becomes the only relief you can imagine. Depression is the only alternative to hurling oneself into the path of potentially violent revolution.
