Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

That's exactly how it is. Just must have faith/hope and the power of the Holy Spirit will bring joy and peace. This is strength and the brain recognizes it. It all works together right?

Yeah, I read similar studies about how believing in spirituality works positively. However, depression affects all kind of people regardless of what they believe. So being religious or spiritual does not guarantee that a person is depression-proof. Because depression could be caused by many different things, and curing cases like severe/major depression is not simple.

That's exactly how it is. Just must have faith/hope and the power of the Holy Spirit will bring joy and peace. This is strength and the brain recognizes it. It all works together right? Yes absolutely I think Romans 5 says it very well, Romans 5:1-11 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. And also Romans 8, Romans 8:5-7 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

But not all people are serious in their faith either but only say they're a certain religion because family is that religion or whatever. So I'm sure it doesn't work for them at all and they do get depressed.

The human mind is developed not just to be able to handle challenges, but to even be inspired by them. But this requires that the challenges are themselves perceived as meaningful. Unexpected tragedy and powerlessness are inevitable factors in the human condition. To put your faith in that what you experience do have a meaning in a greater picture, only fully grasped by a higher being, makes it possible to feel motivated, even when facing the gravest hardship.
