Excessive grinding is always depressing. Even WHO has established ICD-11 to make everybody in the real world aware. Old school MMORPG, of course OSRS too, typically require the most grinding, so it is normal for OSRS players to get burnt out and become depressed. I believe, even many streamers who get paid for the daily 8 to 12 hours grind are depressed too, but they just won't tell us in their streams.
Now that OSRS is not even a typical MMORPG. They are running all kinds of FOMO events like DMM, Leagues as their main content. FOMO makes players even more depressed, especially when they don't win anything in DMM or grind 8 hours a day for 2 months and only get a mid tier Mith Trophy.
Yes, average people in the world need variety. Jagex knows it they can't have just grinding in their games. That's why they have many games with some less grindy ones.
