I accept that the causes of depression are complex and the medical model is often over simplified and ignores contributing economic and social circumstances. The narrative around MH needs to be expanded but not in the direction of pseudo-spiritual victim blaming. She’s awful.
I guess I’m a loon, but the idea that clinical depression is, in every instance, something that just happens to people, independent of life circumstances, and can only be treated by anti-depressants, is way more dangerous than a bit of new age fluff
