Quick note that depression isn't simply "I'm unhappy" (existence of a negative feeling). Depression is characterized by many/all feelings being severely diminished or completely absent. People who think everything's going right in their life still get depressed, and it's something of a trope for some depressed people to wonder how they can be depressed when they can't point to anything in their life that should be depressing.
