Another example is the development of anti-psychotics. Prior to their discovery in the 1950s, violent schizophrenics had two treatment options - lobotomy or straitjacket.

Regarding "simple" depression (not schizo and others):

Lifestyle is things like this: a 300 pound, lonely, jobless, sexless person says he depressed and wants help. He's likely depressed for reasons of lifestyle. His interests would be served best by eating healthy, exercising, being productive, helping people, etc..
