There could be some more psychological affects to masturbation than people think. I study psychology and sociology a little, and I've gathered some thoughts on it from personal experience as well as from what other people tell me.
First off, I do believe that there CAN BE a connection between masturbation and depression. I'm not saying one causes the other, but that they have the ability to be linked. Allow me to attempt to explain:
psychology, as a man or woman, you desire sex, that's just natural. When you can't have sex, yet you're horny, what do you do? Odds are you masturbate, because getting yourself off is the next best thing. What >>I believe<< can happen there is when you masturbate you realize how much you want sex, you kind of crave it more, because a part of you thinks "wow, this feels great, the real thing would feel so much better", but when you think of the real thing, you also realize you don't have it. That then causes a series of events in your mind leading you to realize that you aren't getting laid.
I hope that makes sense. It's basic, and I could go into more depth, but I think that essentially covers it.
