To me there are two types of depression.
1. real depression which is a medical condition where people have a chemical imbalance.
2. being in a funk and being depressed, sometimes long term, about it.
I think those that are in category #1 have always been around, but it wasn't until recent years that we knew how to diagnose them and until recently it was kind of taboo to talk about that kind of stuff.
Those that are in category #2 I think are easy prey for pharmaceutical companies. They are depressed about their life and are sitting around one night and see an ad for a medicine so they go it. It doesn't help the problem, it just puts them in a zombie like state so they care less about it.
