I think there is a poor understanding of the difference between "I am depressed because I have a brain chemistry imbalance" and "I am depressed because my dog died."

The former needs medical treatment with medication.

The latter needs a grief counselor.

I think the point this post is trying to make is that we are treating grief with medication when grief is normal and natural and maybe you need somebody to talk to about it.
