Would "Depressant Drugs" be AS absurd as so-called "Anti-Depressants"?

High quality comedy from the good old USA:

"Despondex" Depressant Drug Launched:




Apart from being fecking hilarious, this makes 2 interesting points:-
1) Would "Depressant Drugs" be as absurd as supposed "Anti-Depressant Drugs"?
2) This spoof news report is almost an exact "mirror image" of what would be thought of as entirely normal and non-comic were it dealing with "low mood" rather than "exuberance".
Would a news article about "low mood" be in reality any less ridiculous?
