In my opinion, I think music that is sad only makes you feel better when you are already sad. I think it does that because it is good to know that someone else relates to your problem. Kinda like talking to a friend who has been through the same stuff.
How bad do you get depressed? If listening to music triggers off bad feeling, it is probably just exposing a deeper problem. For example, a while ago some kid killed himself listening to "Suicide Solution" by Ozzy. They tried to blame Ozzy for the kid's death, but I think the kid was already having problems before the song, and the song just brought his already-present feelings to the surface.
Lots of radio rock depresses me because it is so crappy and one-dimensional.
