Great point. The idea that a relatively normal person would completely turn their life around just because they read the New Testament is fairly absurd, especially if their issue is depression and not something that's talked about more directly in the text like how you're supposed to be compassionate and forgiving instead of hateful. Maybe if you're already very religious, your old church is always preaching against compassion and forgiveness and you're the bookish type.

Depends why you're depressed. The book of romans is pretty reassuring
