Good point, but Simmons has continually shows signs of depression.

One point was in the Blood Gulch Chronicles when Grif mentions he punches the mirror when he cries. This is because he hates seeing himself weak.

He is also very quick to get emotional about a lot of things.

I think he might be depressed from his Dad, who we do not know much about but did tease Simmons for his knowledge. Simmons issues seem to be spurred by a lack of emotional control and outbursts which does not really qualify him as depression. It could actually be a sign of a complex that has been mentioned earlier or Bipolar Disorder. That would explain why his has extended periods of outburts: joining the blues S4, using a portion of time to create holographic Sarge, and violence such as attacking Grif. Also it explains how he is able to mask these issues during the up perios people with Bipolar Disorder.
