It's not okay to be depressed because it sucks to be a person who is depressed. Being depressed is not a nice state to be in. This isn't an "ooo society is wrong" type of situation. Sure there are some societal pressures to appear happy which can make depression _worse_, but depression is still awful regardless of those and we treat it because it's awful.
