Depression isn't something as simple as feeling sad, it is an illness which can be debilitating so it can't really be seen as being wrong. Having depression does not mean a person does not have belief/faith in Allah, since some people might think 'if i had more faith in Allah then i wouldn't be feeling like this'.. It depends on the type of depression and type of person e.g. it could be a biological thing where a person always sees the bad in things and it can't be helped. I think the key is to keep on having faith in Allah and pray that Allah helps to overcome the hardship being faced.
The believer has four characteristics: if he is afflicted by any misfortune, he remains patient and steadfast. If he is given anything, he is grateful. If he speaks , he speaks the truth. If he passes judgment on any issue,he is just .
Depression isn't a choice: it won't just go away by simply thinking 'Oh, Allah's looking after me so I should be happy!' It's a mental condition that can be as fatal as cancer and as painful as cancer.
