You don't need pills and psychologists...you need freaking money.
I agree with you at some point. I already made my statement of what I think depression is, some of my posts ago.
Now what if this mood affects your way of living, so can't make any money and mood turns even worse? Of course, this can be changed, yes, if the person really really focuses. So you are right on this point, I think.
But what if its not about money? What if its about friends or just lack of attention, the feeling of being alone? Because thats what depression is, feeling of being alone, and that doesn't depend on money. Most of treatments, books, medications for depression are based on that definition since main tests about depression are based on isolation.
Now this might be not, but somehow its the only thing thats proven.
