Sure… but everything that’s been trending steadily upward over the last 50 years correlates with everything else that’s been doing the same.
To suggest causation, we’d need to find differences in rates of sunscreen use between locations, and see if that correlates with local differences in depression rates (after controlling for other confounding factors, etc).
