Length of U.S. hospitalizations for mental health in 2016, by diagnosis

In my experience with a very close family member who suffered with depression and anxiety, 5 to 15 days seems to be the norm.

Lol. Magically the depression is gone.

No. It doesn't magically go away, and it's not a joke.

It just takes a couple days to get over, and then everything’s fine?

Does recovering from a stroke add or subtract recovery time from that chart?

Not at all. Those times on that chart are what it takes to diagnose the problem and figure out the best medication. In my experience most people don't get over depression they learn coping strategies along with medication. Just like a physical injury you're sent home to heal.

But six weeks is objectively too long for that to happen? I’m confused by your stance here.
