Yeah, I get the point of the analogy, but I think in reality, the "social" approaches to solving depression are closer to curing broken bones by telling patients to change friends / sleep more / find God. And I say this as a person who had depression and anxiety issues for a long time. Yes, some parts of it are affected by my life conditions, but sadly I can't wish my way out of sudden, random anxiety attacks.
