James, the thing is, it doesn't sound like she's expressing an opinion. It sounds more like a statement of fact, and as such, it is an incorrect statement. If I said, for example, that the sky is green, I'd expect someone to call me on it because it's incorrect. Likewise, the statement above is incorrect. Depression is caused, as many have mentioned, by a chemical imbalance in the brain.
