Proper way to treat depression?

In the Room for Debate, I came across an issue focusing on whether it was good to have depression therapy as an app. Some said therapy should be meant for human interaction because only people who will listen are the best help. Therapists can understand the emotions someone is feeling, whereas an app cannot. When depressed people use the app, they could be in denial about not actually having to see a therapist. Then of course, people are just more comfortable with a app when it comes to their personal feelings.

Personally, I think it is not bad to have the app. I would still prefer advice from a human than my phone, but they do not always have confront their therapists for every issue. Having the app can help when your not you are not feeling the need to talk about the problem.

This sort of reminded of Brave New World because the people constantly use drugs to keep themselves happy all the time. They believe they are happy when they really are not or they just do not notice. With the app, if someone depressed is constantly looking to a phone for guidance, they could be forcing themselves to believe they are okay and that they do not need professional help or any human type of human interaction.
