There is research done on depression vs free choice - the "Paradox of choice" being the canonical reason that more freedom is not always better. I'll leave you to google the topic on your own if you're truly interested -- "happiness/depression correlation with freedom and choice". I'm not trying to take a stand here, but your gut reaction (and my initial one) was based in emotion, not on research and facts -- get the facts (or as best you can) before throwing up any more.
