To a stranger? No way. I wouldn't offer it because it's none of my business... Unless someone is asking me for my opinion on something, or presents their situation in such a way that they are looking for feedback, it's not my place to say anything. For a stranger or for even someone I knew...
What if they were so depressed that they wouldn't ever ask for help? They'd never hear it? What if they were reading a web forum? How would you know that they wanted your opinion?

If I changed the topic to If I were depressed, I'd be a failure, I'd likely have much friendlier responses. Likewise, it would not be as effective at making others analyze themselves, rather than me.
