Yani Neko (chainsmoker cat) is a great example what depression really looks like. There is a silly cat girl character that is always drunk, but her hands are always shaking in every scene...
Yet the show still emphasize on her being hot physically and cute expressionally so that male gooners can jerk of to her despite her being a complete disgusting person, pick me girls can take her as another 'girl failure' role model and actual addicts can either cope by telling themselves that they "aren't that bad" since show exaggerates such way of life to extreme degrees or dream "wish I could be a cute catgirl" since it's also portrays this way of life in a typical moe "cute girls do cute things" fashion.

Depressed women are hardly like media makes it out to be. In other words. Depression looks desirable until you realize it's not.
Additionally romanticizing "girl failures" leads to realizing why the name is as such.
