Yeah it can absolutely suck for a lot of people. Thankfully I landed on one of the easiest rolls for ND. ADHD, mild-moderate depression, GAD, panic disorder in remission.

My fear of nothingness is far stronger than anything even severe depression could touch. Let alone being logical already, fairly well balanced, and zero qualms with getting help or keeping on stuff like pills.

Playing up that 80's mentality around meds and help though is something I still see all the time and it always just makes me sad and frustrated for them. So much of how they could be doing better is rooted in poor pride and anti-intellectualism.
