people are uncomfortable accepting a person’s mental health can be so debilitating and detrimental it makes their life unlivable. treatment resistant depression is a documented illness. each person is fighting a battle only they know the extent of. people want to believe that treatment is a guaranteed success if you do it the right way (this is subject to change from individual to individual). they’ll acknowledge the fact that mental healthcare is a disaster (if you’re in the US) but talk like you’re giving up for ceasing treatment. regardless, the unwillingness to validate suicidal people’s pain is why you hear these kinds of things.
