Correlation and Causeality strikes again.
I have a family member, who suffers from depression, they are on the dole (UK state benefits) and hasn't ever had a full time paid job.
This is because of the illness, not a cause of the illness, in fact from what I've seen depression can be so all consuming the thoughts of money never enter the head. In some ways their drepression would prevent them from ever being concerned about their lack of money, or motivated enough to do anything productive.
