I'm torn on this. It would depend on how it worked.

On the one hand, being depressed negatively effects my life and the lives of those around me. It has had a very serious impact. It would be awfully freeing to not have to deal with that.

On the other hand, it has pushed me to learn and grow as a person. I've changed so much of my life, my thinking patterns, my way of going about things, etc. I have become better. If I had just taken a pill to stop myself from feeling bad, then I never would have been prompted to change the things which were making me feel bad. Not only am I figuring out how to not be depressed, but I'm learning to live life to the fullest and be truly joyful. If I took a pill to make it go away, then the most I'd ever achieve is normality and vapid tranquility. I want more in life.

If I could just wave a magic wand and have those things change the way I'm changing them now, then sure, why not. Otherwise, I don't think it would be worth it.
