Depression affects about 4-12% of the people -- depending on how you look at the numbers -- not insignificant. What you seem to be talking about is not major depression. I grant it may be an interesting theory for some mild depressions, although I'd prefer to see some evidence presented. To suggest it to someone who has actual, clinical depression can come off as offensive and patronising, thus the kind of response you received from Devthrowaway80.
