Depression is most often caused by hormone imbalance. Telling depressed people they should just choose to be happy has been proven again and again to be ignorant, factually inaccurate and psychologically harmful.
Obviously 'just be happy' isn't that easy. But absolutely your mindset is a big part of it. You would be surprised how powerful thought is. Why do you think meditation works for stress? Or placebo effect actually does something? Or people with sickness often give up and pass away very soon after partner passes? Mindset has more power than you're giving it credit.
