I think the main issue behind this may lie in the perception of ideal or "ideal states", those can create two big problems, one being that such ideals are hard not to say impossible to achieve in a material not metaphysical world and two is that it may lead to underperceive everything, one of the main drives of depression is melancholy and this is a by-product (most of the time) of the conflict between reality and expectations, the expectation of ideal situations realities of even our selves, I think that's why psychology doesn't only relies on pills, they have cognitive and behavioral therapies as well, one must discover ourselves by our own, and discover that those ideals are more a guideline than a set goal, thanks for sharing this!
