You can't "cure" depression if you are sub-5

[Pickletoil]

Depression when you are sub-5 isn't a mental illness, in fact, it's the complete opposite, it means your brain is working properly.

If you are not able to socialize, being outcasted by society, having a much harder time getting a job to make money, and of course not getting sex or affection, then getting depressed is the correct response to that, it's basically your brain telling you that you have failed your role as a human being, which is to socialize and reproduce, things which our brain has specifically evolved to do, and when you are unable to do those things, you get depressed.

Curing depression in that case is like trying to fix a car that has 0 faults.
