Scientifically speaking, why is depression a thing? When things get tough, how does depression, and all of its associated symptoms help you survive at all? I certainly can't vouch for any benefits.

Last I heard psychs said depressives had a more 'realistic' view of the world which was better suited to navigating times of hardship. Of course the implication is that they're at the right level of depressed and not down into the pain zone where they're unable to function at all.

The Anglo of the Outback has a simple explanation. Adverse living conditions/circumstance put incredible strain on an individual. The biological response to it is decreased neurotransmission as the brain would not be able to rationalize decisions in such a context and would in fact make poor decisions if firing on all cylinders. Prolonged, this state becomes chronic for many.
