It's not true. It's bullshit.
It's also one person applying their own situation to everyone else and assuming that everyone else's mind works exactly the same way as theirs does. The brain is complex. We're all hardwired differently, and for one person to assume that others should simply have control over something because they do personally, is the sheer height of arrogant ignorance.
Depression is a mood disorder. Sure, some people can get depressed and make themselves feel better, but they're not the same fucking thing.
