That's what my first thought was. Treating a viral infection with an anti depressant means to me that you just won't notice how sick you are.

Cannabis was found to be "helpful" also. There are papers on that. I suppose the mechanism is the same - reduce cortisol caused by some underlying stress by turning off the brain from time to time, and get people to sleep more.
