I don't know. Pills don't fix depression do they, I think that's what she means. They just make you numb so you don't feel anything.
But in my experience it's just something you've got to live with and I don't think anything can ever really fix it. (been with some proper mentals)

Speaking personally, the pills helped as a stabilising influence on me to give me the time and the ability to sort myself out
So yes she's partially right, at least in my case, that doing something about my life helped, I can't say I would've got there had I not had the pills to help calm things down in the noggin and give me a bit of space and time to work on what was making me miserable.
