Where do you think depression fits into this model? I have depression and take antidepressants, but I still experience an undercurrent of inescapable ennui that appears to be resistant to even the most interesting, well-defined and meaningful work.
IMO depression is something that only resolves with endurance and time. Luckily there will be people in your life that will find you or that you may find by chance that will help you with this. All this happens on its own time though, it sounds a bit religious but one needs to have faith. I am not a doctor but I wouldn't recommend anti depressants to anyone really as it numbs you and takes away your ability to think which means that it doesn't really solve depression. On the other hand if you're going to kill yourself then anti depressants may help you but always bear in mind that they should be temporary and that you should try and get off them if you can.
