There are a number of psudo conclusions that people reach without sufficiant evidence.
Let me give you an example. A number of studies have shown that depression duration is associated with heart disease. They use this as an argument for treatment, when in reality, there are few studies that conclusivly show that treatment reduces the incidence of heart disease. Some antidepressants even appear to increase the risk of cardiac problems.
I think the same goes with depression. Sure depression is reccurrent, but do we really have conclusive data to suggest that treatment really does anything in the long run?
