Depression manifests as a lack in many ways, so theoretically and thematically, Necromancers ought to be able to influence it through their magic. Moreover, the NEP is opposed cosmologically by the Positive Energy Plane(PEP), from which the other half of the Necromantic School -Healing, Raise Dead, Resurrect, Holy Smite, ect; along with a host of light and fire related Evocation spells- draw their power. Essentially what Mages do in D&D is act as conduits for and managers of Planar Energies, and Necromancers are specialists in managing Positive and Negative Energies. So theoretically, just as a Necro ought to be able to influence the “Negative Energy” of Depression, they ought to also be able to bring in the “Positive Energy” that nullifies it, same as they do when they blast a skeleton to dust or compel a Vampire to do their bidding. -- source link
