I think that anything that makes a person happy, no matter if it's crayons, games, or anything else, is a great way to treat depression.

I honestly think that depression and most other mental health issues wouldn't be such a big deal if people were allowed to do more things that they love and are passionate without having to deal with people judging them for it or having to spend over 40 hours of week doing something that they don't like doing just to earn a living.

If only people had absolute freedom to live life as they choose, regardless if what they enjoy makes good money or not. I believe that humans were actually evolved to be passionate creative thinkers thanks to our creativity and intellect. If we were able to remain the curious passionate children we start off as, the world would be a lot better of a place I think.
