There is a lot of advice regarding depression and a lot of things people say may be helpful to many others. There is, however, also the chance that someone's life really is FUBAR and no amount of exercise, therapy, drugs, and whatnot will change anything. And then everybody says that the one who is suffering "does not want any help", "is not suffering enough to accept help", "is happy with his suffering", etc. Well, pardon my language, but that's such a giant pile of bullshit! All that's happening there is that the one giving advice is helpless and not willing to admit it. And that's especially true of psychologists and other "professionals". Source: have lost three people who committed suicide and in two cases I would say that there really was no other way. We, as a species, totally suck at helping. And, yes, there probably would have been ways to help above people, but it would have taken time and dedication and who is willing to invest that? It's so much easier to try a quick fix and when it does not work, blame it on the sufferer. Unfortunately I was young back then and did not understand that...
