Your definition of spectrum is not standard. And the disorder called depression commonly is called major depressive disorder clinically.

I could list a bunch of sources supporting what I just said but I’ll just say.
https://www.ifeet.org/files/DSM-5-TR.pdf
DSM V has depression as depressive disorders, but lists “Schizophrenia Spectrum” and “Autism Spectrum” so I invite you to consider what distinction for spectrum is being used.
Spectrums extend continuously from normal to disorders. So if you believe depression is a spectrum you must also believe that no treatment is necessary for some people with depression. However if depression is a disorder there may be some cases that are on the margins that aren’t quite depression that still warrant some forms of treatment.
