I think you're all right that analysis can contribute or lengthen, but not necessarily cause, depression.
Dinah's comment about her ancestors made me think about mine--alcoholics and criminals and crazy people, all of them! Self-medication galore.
I suppose we're relatively lucky to live in a time when depression is a diagnosable illness with a treatment protocol. People after us might be luckier, though.
