the hallmark of depression is an inability for passive enjoyment

i genuinely believe that no further elucidation on the condition is necessary, this aphorism should suffice

That's a big part of it, but what about the deeper resonances of depression?  There are levels of pain that go beyond simple lack of pleasure, that become oppressive.  That sort of..... 'hurts just to wake up in the morning' feeling.  Not to mention the abject hopelessness.  The self-loathing.  I think you're over simplifying.

 melancholy should not be confused with depression

Seems like a very common symptom.  Why separate them?

 a mere symptom cannot be regarded as the essence of something

 All a disorder is, is a collection of symptoms.  "Essence" sounds like you're trying to give it a soul. lol

 I don't think so, in this case.  I think it's just easier to believe that something so consuming must be more than a handful of cheap sounding bullet points.

Also, in what way is "inability for passive enjoyment" not just another symptom?

 it is more pervasive and enduring than merely melancholy
