Depression link to processed food

Eating a diet high in processed food increases the risk of depression, research suggests.

What is more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found.

I eat processed food all the time and have done it ever since a kid, I never had any depression problems.
That article seems a little silly in my opinion.

The study concludes that somebody who eats like you do is at higher "risk" of depression.  It does not claim that you will automatically get depressed.

No, and neither are the people who conducted the study.  Depression and being loco are two different things.
