I disagree that modern day life is too easy for most people and that's why people are depressed. Specifically, I don't think there's any evidence that lives with more adversity are less prone to mental illness. By this logic, PTSD shouldn't exist, neither should the myriad of studies that prove beating your children statistically results in a whole host of negative outcomes. I think you personally just might not be engaging with people who aren't well off financially. The rate of mental illness among the homeless and the jailed populations is way, way higher than the rate of mental illness among the wealthy.
