The mind-body connection and the full story of depression and its treatment and how it does or doesn't work is, in my own opinion, simply too complex for either a strict biochemical model or a more "psychological" approach to capture, in isolation, everything that's really happening.

I found this research, using PET scans to compare the effects of CBT and meds in patients responding to the respective treatments, truly fascinating:

Basically, they found hints that the mechanisms of recovery are quite different, perhaps complementary.
