Makes sense. :-(
But it may be many different causes for different people. For example is someone's depression is biologically caused and they take some prescribed drugs, they may honestly report improvement... and then become overconfident and stop taking the drugs.
Oh, of course. I speak from only my own mix of experience and imagination, not as a trained or experienced psychologist. The powerful emotions of my individual experience definitely bias me to a specific view which I probably overgeneralize, even when I'm conscious that I might be overgeneralizing.
