You can strawman the argument all you like. Depression is treatable. Maybe telling people who are depressed “I agree, life sucks” isn’t as noble as you think it is. If depression is a hole, all you’re doing is offering a shovel. But that’s the problem with depression, anytime anyone brings up things that can treat depression, the response is “Well ACKSHUALLY”. Maybe you would feel better if you took better care of what you eat, or exercised, or called your loved ones more often. Maybe not. The only way to know is to try. There isn’t a bandaid fix for depression, but there are certainly things that can help. Trying nothing and then throwing your hands in the air frustrated doesn’t accomplish anything.
Speaking as someone who’s taken prescription meds for depression in the past. But if suggestions ruin your preconceived worldly constructs then you’re welcome to call me a moron… if that gives you some slight pleasure, go for it.
