> In other words, why wait until your biological depression goes away before dealing with psychological issues?

Here's why:

For many people who are severely depressed, this becomes all but impossible. They would need to first struggle to find their way out of bed and stumble into the shower while leaving enough energy to open a box of cereal. If they are lucky, they might even be able to wash the plates. Of course, there is no need to do that if you instead take handfulls of dry cereal right from the box. People suffering from severe psychomotor retardation are barely able or completely unable to function well enough to take care of themselves. Attending to personal hygeine is a monumental accomplishment. Psychotherapy doesn't make much sense when someone is in this state. They are far too vegetative to participate actively and process information.
