I have never written a song, but I have written poetry, and I find the same thing to be true -- that poetry is a good outlet for dealing with depression.
A corollary is that sorrow and depression often provide motivation for creative songwriting and poetry. The most productive period of my life (so far) for writing poetry was a time when I was very depressed.
