Trying to think your way out of a mood disorder makes about as much sense as trying to think your way out of the flu, or a broken leg, or cancer.

I guess you can think your way into depression (what the CBT philosophy calls cognitive distortions), and it makes sense not to do that. But even if you get cognitive distortions under control, that's usually not the whole problem.
