Depression is a bit of catch-all term. Considering that some forms are immune to certain drugs, but not the other, or that for some kinds therapy works better (or worse) - it is very likely that when we learn more about depression, we will type it like diabetes (depression type 1, type 2 etc).
Thus it is theoretically possible that there is a type of what we currently call depression that can get better with mental effort.
I personally haven’t seen it, but I also haven’t seen Thailand and it still exists :-)
I agree; the thing that saddens me is how people are blamed for not getting their shit together themselves and not putting enough efforts.
For example my parents were honestly thinking that depression was me being lazy, overreactive or undisciplined, while thinking therapy is unnecessary for something so trivial. Gladly, younger generations are more aware about metal health conditions.
So all in all, I don’t want to devalue grit and resilience, but many people absolutely need support and meds, and it’s okay.
