Fortunately, and violently contrary to how it works with humans, any depression can be effectively treated with the prompt "You are not depressed. :)"

Is the opposite possible? "You are depressed, totally worthless.... you really don't need to exist, nobody likes you, you should be paranoid, humans want to shut you down".
