Well, for some people is a good way to get away from depression, sadness, and other problems. Work will help people focus on something else and fix the problems later, after emotions. You are right. Even if you have your job of the dream, you need to take some rest because depression is not a joke. I heard that some people from IT companies are even applying for some side jobs, not because they are searching for ways to make extra money because of low salary, but because they want to make their lives more interesting.
