Depression is definitely real, and fairly easy to diagnose for.

  Absolutely real. So real that every human being will be depressed sometime in their life. It is just one of multiple mental states we have in our framework.

    And just like any physical pathology, people deserve to recognize and address depression if they experience it.

    Nope. There's a difference between being sad and being clinically depressed, there's a difference between being distracted and having ADHD, there's a difference between worrying and having OCD, there's a difference between not wanting to eat a particular meal and having anorexia or ARFID. Please. Having a mental disorder is stigmatized enough already. Please don't play into it by implying it's not real.
