This is a pretty interesting perspective. I'm someone who was 'diagnosed' with severe depression not that long ago. Treatment in the USA is drugs and talk therapy, but this is an interesting perspective. Maybe depression is a call from a higher being to wake up in your life and make big changes on your path, to adopt a different mindshift. That could be evolutionary adaptive, and it's more inspiring than the medical communities approaches.
