Ahhh this is a subject that use to just totally yank my chain.
In my case since I am not out spoken about my BP and maybe 6 or so people irk know..
When a person is saying they are depressed because they can't buy a new ____. Or they got a speeding ticket etc.. Thoses ? I just smh walking away.
For the ones that situational stuff hits , Like major life changes , divorce or a death of a loved one being fired from a job you loved and having months and months of searching and still no job , Or a family who lost there home to a fire..... Ok stuff like that , Yes Situational things have indeed tore that person apart and many go to there GP and they get put on AD ____ and they do start feeling better... As for the ones that take it for a few days and shout from the roof tops how they are feeling fantastic? Yes for a small % it happens , especially if it's one that is activating ..
A handful of years ago my husband was on an AD and he said he was starting to feeling better after a week.. I was like

must be nice !!!!! But he reacts to all medication quickly. He is also one that if he misses his daily Vitamins .. he will in fact know it by how he feels..
I not only have a nasty BP but I have chronic pain.. So I hear so many people complain about there mood or how that stubbed toe is going to hurt them for days.... I have wanted to explode and tell them exactly what physical and mental pain is like ...Will it help them understand? Nope probably not. Will it help me feel better? Yeah until 12 seconds after I blow up I realize its not anyones fault I am currently in a lousy way... I can't compare my pain nor my mental problems and levels to anyone else....
I really have come to terms with all this over time. Do I like it ? Nope ! not at all.. What I have finally decided for me that helps.. " Here I sit with a mass amount of huge mental and physical struggles , yet here I am, I am keeping my head above water, I fight and fight and when I need a break I can float ..... I'm sorry but I'm a freaking Super hero !!
