The criteria for what "depression" is has changed over time, no wonder our results are changing. Almost everyone has depression given the current criteria [1].
Most people have 2,4,5,6,7.
The criteria is so vague your study would have to control for each item on the list. Here, they're not even using that criteria, and instead just using a simple test which involves self-reports. Placebo could be a huge factor here.
