From my amateur perspective, i think the history of how people treat others with depression may be deeply rooted in the Human flaw of, "the way I experience the sensations of existence must be how everyone else does."
I can't exactly fault the default response to be, "I don't get it. Just get off your butt and go for a jog. I always feel better when I do that."
I remember being so ignorant to depression until I experienced it myself. It's unlike anything else. Your drive to persist is just missing.
P.S. the entire lecture series this one is from is worth watching.
