Something having evolved because it's adaptive in the cases when it's temporary doesn't mean that trying to treat its non-temporary manifestations would always work. The mechanism that was normally supposed to bring us out of depression could be broken.
The mechanism that prevents other people from denegrating someone who already looks downcast could break too.
