I know a personal trainer with depression. <shrug> No silver bullets. I'm inclined to see these things as symptoms, although (if I may borrow more PT lingo) maladaptive behaviour from unrecovered injuries is also a thing. Pretty much every physio will tell you that a pain in muscle X is caused by a deficiency in supporting muscle Y. It's just that we have zero insight into the mutual support structure (if any!) inside the brain.
Careful management of your social group and obligations can turn you from a depressed person who does nothing into a depressed person who does things. Sometimes that's good enough. But antidepressants can definitely do more.
