I don’t own a TV and am nonetheless somewhat depressed. I think TV is not any worse than other passive activities, such as watching YouTube, browsing news, scrolling Instagram, playing games, online shopping, … (and I don’t mean from time to time, but hours upon hours every day)

Maybe we should even generalize further to "mentally-passive sedentary activities".
Indeed. TV is just one of many possible negative passive addictions.
