So... what&#x27;s the alternative? Depression is another common behavior pattern&#x2F;mode that &quot;must have evolved for a reason&quot;. And sure, there might be a benefit to depression that is yet unnoticed. But since based on the current information it&#x27;s <i>so</i> bad, treating it anyway makes sense. It&#x27;s pretty implausible to somehow verify there are no benefits from procrastination, and it clearly causes problems for people (from their own and other&#x27;s perspectives). That seems like something to attempt to solve. It&#x27;s not like every single mental&#x2F;biological feature must be beneficial somehow, that&#x27;s not actually how evolution works. It might be, we can&#x27;t &quot;prove&quot; otherwise, but we kind of have to work with what we have until there&#x27;s a complete map of human neural structures or something.
