Not what the post you replied to was talking about.

That's basically the definition of clinical depression. Doctors try quite hard to make sure it's not a scapegoat.
Well, of course, if you anesthetize someone they can't feel anything. If you cut off the physical pathways of ""feeling sad"" then they can't feel sad, but is that really the same as "fixing" the reason for why they were feeling sad in the first place?
