Say, you have a lemon tree growing in your garden & overtime you grew tired of it. Now you wanna get rid of it, would you strike at the root or pluck the fruit? If you choose to pluck, no matter how many fruits you pluck, they'll grow back. But if you uproot it, you're done with it for good.

Same goes with depression. No matter how much medication you take to die down the physical(bodily) symptoms, they will bounce back. Strike at the root, i.e., depression.
