It is just a picture of brain activity when someone is in a severe depression. It doesn't say anything about causation. A recent break through in tools to study things but still rather primitive. To me it is a picture that shows what we deal with. I can actually literally feel the lack of brain activity when I am severely depressed.
Unfortunately they cannot take a microscope and look to see what is going on bio chemically at receptors or neural pathways. Or what happens when an anti depressant crosses the blood brain barrier to act in some way that is not known.
