There's two things:

1. the root cause(s) of depression

2. the dynamic balancing of the brain

point 2 meaning that depression breeds depression, and the trick I was mentionning above was to allow some space to reverse that pattern to an extent. Blurring the signals will allow your self to not feel dying in pain for a while, which let's hope, and motivation grow back a bit

for point 1, it may be that my comment rubbed you the wrong way, because I actually 100% think like you. I've suffered from too many places / people trying to ignore the root cause, which led to a longer disease and more problems (to this day). The thing is, you don't necessarily have the resources at first to deal with root causes. so point 2 can be a good, non chemical, help.
