"Then it's their responsibility to seek it out." Sure.. but what if despite knowing that they still don't? A lot of people suffering from depression don't seek help despite knowing they should. They watch themselves sinking deeper and deeper, and their lives gradually falling apart and don't ask for help, or even when they do they might not follow through with what they need to do to improve their lives.. from missing therapy appointments, to not taking medication, to not taking the little steps to improve their lives. There are various reasons for that, but the bottom line is that many of them don't, and no amount of finger wagging at them is going to change that.

Then it's their responsibility to build a support group. Any therapist will tell you that voicing your gripes to the internet will only hurt your more, which is why you need people around you who you trust to process your emotions with. As a citizen of the internet, I have zero patience for people who make their issues part of my life. It may sounds cruel, but I just don't have the time or emotional liquidity to deal with it. From what I've seen, a lot of other people also share that sentiment. Mental health is something that should be taken seriously, not spammed on the internet or commoditized.
