To say that people with mood disorders are “not facing the darkest fears” is about as primitive and frankly stupid as it gets.

"confront and deal with or accept a difficult or unpleasant task, fact, or situation."

Still feel the same. Have something more insightful to add?

Truth! Telling people like me to "face their demons" when they pushed me into homelessness but the demons still live with me in my van.

I am not saying this to be mean, but people who have encourage these approaches do not have a mood disorder. They are sad people with sad lives.
