Yeah, I totally believe that too. I think you pretty much only got anti-depressants if you landed in the hospital after a suicide attempt. And I don't think talk therapy was something people in Gene's social circles would have done.

Interestingly enough, in Nerve the hero gets so depressed that he speaks to a psychiatrist who's a friend of the family (and who is helpful). However, Rob came from an upperclass intelligentsia background.
