That's a loose definition. I know someone who was beaten up very badly and spent weeks in a hospital with a good chance of not making it through. A few years later and they look totally normal. Were there severe long-term consequences? After all, you couldn't even tell just by looking at them.
I don't think the "long-term outcome" should be relevant in judging anything of that nature, and cancelling is similar. Sure, they might not commit suicide, their career might even recover, but they've gone through a lot of shit that was totally unnecessary.
