Part of opening up about mental health is not throwing labels around casually. Depression is a particular brain chemistry imbalance that doesn't respond much to lifestyle changes but is usually treated well by meds. It's not about disliking office politics. If Tim Kreider wrote about taking SSRIs to get back to productive and active life, I don't see much of a debate.
