Your brain is, in a very real sense, a computer, and "you" are the software running on it. If I piloted your body, I could act not depressed, so could ChatGPT or anyone else, which means depression is in "you" rather than the hardware. This is supported by research, depression is the physical effects - brain fog, tiredness etc. of mental software issues. You need to practice a kind of mindfulness of the mind, where you don't let your thoughts become who you are, notice them, categorize them as a depressed thought and consciously try to spiral upward instead.
I strongly recommend you read or at least start reading the book Learned Optimism by Seligman. Depression is a condition that afflicts people who are aware, and plenty of philosophical schools of thoughts were answers to misery and existentialism. However, it can be better to take a mental treatment approach. The reason meds often fail is because they don't address the software issues and why CBT has good results, and also increases navy seal pass rates, it works.
