Capitalizing the 'd' in 'depression' depends on the use of depression.

When describing a particular event or person, a noun is capitalized.

If you are diagnosing a person they might be depressed.

If you are talking about the Great Depression or Depression era policies, it is capitalized for similar reasons as the 'w' in World War I or the Pentagon - a particular person, place, or thing (the 'thing' here being a span of time).
