Thats when theres a medical reason for the depression.
But you can be depressed for real reasons, too. You lost a friend, your long lasting relationship failed, you suffer from loneliness, you are getting bullied, you are in prison and they isolated you, you got a serious permanent injury like losing a limb or going blind, you have a serious disease like cancer that hurts you and might kill you, etc etc etc.

Those are things to feel sad and unhappy about, which is different from the malignant nothingness of depression that Allie Brosh explained so well at Hyperbole and a Half.
The life-changing idea I got from the psychologically deep movie "Inside Out" was that sadness can counter depression.
