The point is you shouldn't be telling the depressed person how to deal with their illness.

The author of this comic is trying to say that the problem is not the depressed person, the problem is everyone else telling him how to treat his illness.

You've got some good advice but you seem to fundamentally misunderstand the point this artist is trying to make.

I wasn’t replying to the comic, I was replying to that person.

Regardless of that the problem is not binary issue. A problem is the people demoralizing the individual, sure, but this is a contributing factor to the individuals inaction. The individuals inaction is a problem as well and for said individual this is the worse of the 2 problems, as it is the main one they can act on. You can complain about other people being tone deaf and that is valid, those people are rude, but it’s not moving you forward
