If a human was never exposed to the term "depression" ,would there be ANY probibility to need chemicals for it

i acknowledge that people get and are born ill. the word ill meanong anything not considered healthy, either physical or mental. also, i acknowledge that some people need help as they are not as able as others to handle certain situations. and some people, experience more difficult situations than others, either of the extemes could be paired with the other. my hypotheses is, if no one ever knew or considered :depression" as a treatable 'disease', then maybe, people would be forced to look else where to fell better. maybe by getting emotional support instead of medicinal support. this outcome however, would cost the political industy and therefore economy, a great amount of adjustment. i wonder what, if anything, could be done to raise awareness of alternatives to DRUGS! which by the way, hasnt our country declared war on drugs?
