Having never suffered from say depression myself it's very difficult for an outsider looking in to understand what is going on in the mind of someone else- It's a debate I tend to stay clear of and one which should be debated with caution.
It has definitely become more of a thing these days (and i don't mean that as the latest fad), maybe awareness is up, social media etc.
One thing I do disagree with (again its easy for me to say having never been there so this is written with some compassion), it appears antidepressants are widely available quite easily these days from your GP, without imo thorough diagnosis and understanding of the root cause. The GP recommended things like stop drinking alcohol (natural depressant), exercise (a natural antidepressant) for the people i know who suffer just dont bother with this aspect. For me the reason I don't understand it is that you never know if its the chemical balance or whether life is just tough - I may be way off the mark here, just talking about people I personally know.
it's not that simple I know and from what I have heard, wouldn't wish it on anyone, and I am glad the support networks are available to aid people in overcoming it.
