This is very real, in my case it wasn't about the depression but improved mental state was quite obvious even after several days without drinking. This and much better sleep. Maybe it goes hand in hand
I think you misinterpreted the meme.
Before they were sober, they felt depressed for no reason, now that they're sober they can see many reasons to be depressed.
I do agree, though, that in reality a healthy diet, keeping off depressants like alcohol, having a good night's sleep, and exercises (even light exercise) are all key factors to a better mental state.
And stay off social media.
