Why is a commercial for depression medication so depressing?

I was watching some TV last night, and the commercial for Cymbalta came on. It’s the one that says, “Depression hurts everywhere” and stuff. There’s this depressing music in the background and images of depressed people being… depressed. If I was depressed, that commercial would probably send me over the edge. I know advertisements are supposed to appeal to the emotions, but this is a little much.
