I found it to be quite the opposite, most people who I've encountered with depression have a tendency to be think of themselves as less important then everyone else.
I don't think that's always true, though, and it doesn't necessarily contradict the original statement. Just because you think you're crap doesn't mean you aren't spending 24 hours a day thinking about yourself. In fact, one could argue that the latter causes the former.
