Freedom to feel depressed? I'll just ignore that and everything else. Depression is different from just being melancholic, especially because it interferes with a person's life.

can everything interfering with life be labeled as disease ?

Maybe not everything, but in the case of depression or anxiety it's obviously a disease. If you're wondering how it affects lives just read experiences on here or google it.

i am too victim of social anxiety and depression but i never allowed it to get over me to be termed as disease.

Why not? it's not demeaning.
