some people are depressed because of their worldview, or their unreal expectations of life, or because of bad choices, or other such things. that is the mind. some people are depressed because their brain does not produce the right chemicals or produces too many other chemicals, and therefore creates an imabalnce, that the mind then experiences as depression.
two different things
one is treatable by therapy

So you separate experience from the body in that depression may be impressed on the mind by experience or it can express depression from chemical imbalance. Where does the chemical imbalance come from?
Defining the concept of "soul" entirely by its immorality is wrong. Your definition of the mind fits with what I know of Aristotle's definition of the soul.
