Telling a clinically depressed person "buck up, things aren't that bad" is about as helpful as telling somebody with diabetes that "sugar is actually pretty tasty, you should just try it again and see if you like it."
Those pills you so casually dismiss prevented me from taking my own life and have lifted a lifelong fog.
Hope you can find something better to do with your time than writing incredibly ignorant comments on Hacker News. I know you can.
- I would tell someone with type 2 diabetes to stop taking drugs and instead stop eating the carbs (of course the politically correct pharmaceutical / govt response is to take drugs which only treat the symptoms - funny how financial interests work). Again, first hand experience with this.
So no, I would say you can look to either people "having it bad" or "having it good" and finding in both cases they have the power to make choices.
