I think there is some merit to these ideas, but we shouldn't go overboard. With anxiety and depression specifically, I believe we need to make a distinction between the chronic and acute forms. If you have healthy relationships and a generally fulfilling life, yet still have problems with anxiety and depression, you most likely have the chronic form and need medication. If, on the other hand, your symptoms can be explained by other factors, like those described in the article, non-medical interventions should be used. It seems that there is also a risk of the acute forms of these disorders evolving into the chronic forms, which are harder to treat.
