Clickbait headline. Not article refers drugs which may have some correlative relationship with depression (e.g. side effects may include), not drugs associated with treatment of depression.

I also mis-read the headline, but that doesn't make the headline incorrect.

Not incorrect, just clickbait.

I'm not so convinced; “linked to” is absolutely bog-standard for correlation. The interesting thing is how much more we're primed to read it the other way even with relatively unambiguous language.
