It can on one hand be argued antidepressants aren't necessary for anyone. You can argue that and be correct. This is because antidepressants don't actually cure depression, but lessen the symptoms and enable severe depression to be cured through behavioral changes.

It's a line of reasoning that is technically true but really sort of missing the point.

The problem with treating depressed people is to get them to actually do the things that will help them. That can be incredibly difficult without medication.
