Not recommended if you're depressed/in a bad situation because you can just disassociate from everything instead of fixing it.

You could just as (if not more) easily gain clarity into what you need to fix and how, and increase your ability to act on those insights.

Or you could mess up your brain even more, as it is established by zen teachers and scientific literature.

I think that's what therapy is for. No-thought meditation (vipassana) can't help with that surely, since it involves thinking.
