Declan, I think the issue there is that Jenny wants to be happy. Certainly most people aren't unhappy enough that they do not feel their life is worth it, that can't be common. I would see that as a big difference between a person who is just negative or apathic- but stills gets some sense of worth from their life- and a depressed person who suffers from the way they feel. I'd say that would distinguish depression from a personality issue- how you feel about it and whether you desperately want to change it. Just a though.
