Clinical depression is a physiological condition that produces irrational negative emotions that are largely unrelated to the sufferer's circumstances.
Telling a clinically depressed person "buck up, things aren't that bad" is about as helpful as telling somebody with diabetes that "sugar is actually pretty tasty, you should just try it again and see if you like it."
Those pills you so casually dismiss prevented me from taking my own life and have lifted a lifelong fog.
Hope you can find something better to do with your time than writing incredibly ignorant comments on Hacker News. I know you can.
