I responded to the parent comment so I won't belabor it, but I think this take on the article is faulting the author for a claim she never made. The article never even mentions schizoaffective disorder and makes no attempt to propose a cure for mental illness. Discussions about useful approaches for dealing with relatively mild depression are not a criticism of people who suffer from more serious conditions.
> They were at best suffering situational depression, otherwise called "sadness".
The blogger didn’t say sadness or mild depression much or at all. They said depression from the get go and made the symptoms seem decently severe at first. Tho again. That is not something that can differentiated from a period of sadness.
The OPs schizoaffective disorder does not change anything they wrote.
