It really depends upon what it is we are talking about treating.
Depression is too big of a word in the English language. When it is used to describe what it is that I am suffering from, a biological intervention is all that is needed. When it is used to describe what it is that you are suffering from, apparently, psychotherapy is necessary. Whether or not this is the case with the majority may be debatable depending on the definition we choose to apply to the word "depression".
Because depression, being one word, is used to describe at least two different things, great confusion in communication is the result, which often leads to intense disagreements.
