NO!
When people are depressed, they have out of control ruminating thoughts. This makes them vulnerable to "self-validating" negative thoughts. For instance, you have thoughts like
"We are a broken people."
"I don't matter"...."I don't matter"....."I don't matter"...."I don't matter"...
These are thoughts which DO become true, but only because you keep thinking them. The more you think them, the more they become true. You keep thinking them because of their high emotional content. The more they become true, the more convincing they are to you. It is a mental trap.
