It's terrible, and can totally destroy the affected person's self esteem and self worth.
It's just as bad as telling someone with a mental illness to "toughen up", "it's a choice", "you can control this"
Those people should watch Silver Linings Playbook.
they shouldn't. that movie trivialises mental illness as something that can be solved with ''love'' so people who who already mock mental illness will take it even less seriously after watching it

same here. I suffer from depression and my family have told me that I just need to toughen up. it's sad when people so close to you are so ignorant, but don't let it get to you
