I see this observation a lot on conversations around positive thinking and CBT too. When your life actually sucks, no amount of positive thinking is really productive. At some point trying to turn everything into some kind of positive is basically self-abuse. Using medication to force your brain to stop being unhappy in truly crappy circumstances is more or less the same.
