      Telling someone with depression to 'just get over it and be happy'
is like telling someone with a broken leg to run to a hospital


      Telling someone with an eating disorder to 'just eat' 
is like telling someone with claustrophobia to get inside a small cupboard and lock the door.


      Telling someone who self-harms to 'just stop doing it'
is like telling a drug addict to sit in a room full of drugs and touch nothing. 



            How can you judge what you don't understand?

Still,
it seems quite better than telling them to keep doing it.
Those are serious problems, they need help.

Telling someone what they should do is not judging. People with eating disorders, people with depression and people with self-harm are usually mentally ill and need medical help.
