If it happens every time you get a cold, then you have a cause and effect. Depression tends to come and go, a remitting condition. Now, there is
quite a bit of well supported data on some illnesses causing depression. Any differential Dx for depression should consider any primary illness
that can cause secondary depression. Nyquil is 50 proof
(25% booze), also. Many have pro-mood effects from booze but long term is is not sustainable.
