Nobody diagnosed anything. It's a perfectly reasonable thing for a person to suggest that another person might be depressed, especially in this context where it is clearly intended to be supportive.

Your right, it's possibly even worse, they want to "argue" depression, completely ignoring the op's statement "I'm not depressed." Many people here have a strong case of "I know better than you, I'm going to ignore your request and tell you how it really is." They literally tell this young person "Get over it... No one really cares that much." How dare they. Vile and disgusting thing to say to someone. You have no idea what the poster has been through. The incredible definition of depression used? "It can manifest in anger and outbursts, fits of despair, doom and gloom, etc." Not particularly authoritative. Post a link to the Mayo clinic or whatever. But you're right, arguing depression isn't the biggest problem with that post; just the first. Opt out is not consent. Have some compassion. Respect people's very basic requests please.

  It seems like you're advocating for something the OP didn't ask for. They asked for advice about how to stop "being this way". That's what the GP comment provided. I'm sorry for whatever you've been through. There is no shame in considering, or experiencing, depression. And someone suggesting that you might be in that situation is not oppression, it's care.

  I would suggest you follow your own advice here. Have some compassion and don’t jump to conclusions. Since you demand a mayoclinic link, here you go: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/male-depression/art-20046216 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in...
