I have had depression that was both situational and biological. Both were severe. But I knew when it was biological. There was nothing wrong with my life. I had worked through most of my issues with two therapists and a DBT group. I just crashed and could not get out of bed. I cried and felt suicidal all the time. I didn't wash my hair or shower for 10 days, when my daughter came home to try and get me out of bed. I spent five weeks in the hospital and during that time, I barely spoke to anyone, slept constantly, ate nothing and had no will to live. I felt like I had a terminal disease. I spent two months in bed. Nothing could snap me out of it, even temporarily. I started on parnate after a washout of all other meds and was fine in 48 hours. I'm convinced depression can be biologically driven. But I know from other experience that it can also be driven by repressed emotions, traumatic childhoods.
