The author fundamentally misunderstands depression. "You have it so great so why are you depressed?" Depression is almost always future-oriented - you get depressed because you don't see anything good happening to you in the future. Most depressed people will say that they can't even imagine the future, let alone imagine something good happening to them. If young people are depressed today, it likely means that they don't imagine good things - better jobs, family, health, relationships - coming their way in the future.
