Well that's exactly what I was saying. To me, depression is only an illness if a person who has no reason to be depressed is depressed. How you gonna tell me someone who's life is miserable because they're socially isolated, poor, physically disabled, etc. is depressed due to a mental illness? They're depressed because of the negative circumstances of their lives.
Well, I don't think the chemical imbalance that develops in a depressed person's brain really gives that much of a fukk about what's in their check-in account. By the same token you could have someone lonely, sick and broke who remains fulfilled and optimistic despite their circumstances. A less well off person's mind just doesn't have to look as hard for things in their life to justify them feeling like shyt all the time.
It's not dissimilar from how someone can live healthy and die of cancer in their 50s while a 80 year old chain smoker keeps breathing.
