The "easy" cure for depression and anxiety is that you have to realize your thinking is disordered, that you believe delusional things and that you're wrong. Shreds and Violet and many of these guys (or girls like Nepenthe) fundamentally reject this idea. The locus of control is always external and therefore it's on everyone else to do something, never them. Especially if they don't want to do it or it's harder than doing nothing.
Every single day they go on forums to whine about other people holding them back rather than doing anything to change. Of course you can't solve disordered thinking this way. If you assume you're brilliant and know everything as they do you're never going to believe that you're thinking wrong thoughts.
This is also why they desire things to be medical problems, because that outsources the issue. Being mental or psychological problems, as in actual problems not "personality traits" like having a bunch of friends in your head that chat about TV shows, the solution has to be internal. Even the mental disorders for which there are strong medical answers like schizophrenia still require this, ideally they wouldn't rely on the drugs just unfortunately they often need to. For depression and anxiety, the drugs aren't any answer, you're supposed to get off of them asap, something which much of trans/disabled Twitter or people like Kyuuji openly reject.
It's not simple, I still take depression meds, I'd like to stop but my doctor thinks better safe than sorry. But after around seven years I stopped, almost cold turkey, my anxiety meds and I haven't gone back. It was just a period where I realized I wasn't taking them as often and decided I wouldn't take them at all unless it felt absolutely necessary, that I would just try to fight through whatever. It made a fundamental difference because it shifted my perception of control over to myself from the "disorder" and eventually really helped my depression because they're connected. I went the opposite way from most people during the pandemic, I said when shit was normal again I wasn't going to be dishonest anymore. People like Shreds thought it was bliss, they were finally being the girl they were meant to be, so wanted to make life that way forever.
I don't mean to get personal or talk about myself as this gold standard, I'm not, especially because I'm not saying anything that ALL OF PSYCHOLOGY doesn't. I don't expect most people, let alone idiots like Shreds or Violet, to read academic psychological research or even the laymen's versions to learn about themselves and what they're addressing. But the only example I know I can point to is myself. They aren't at the accepting you have a problem stage, they're "accepting" they have a fun quirk, an excuse, etc. They don't see it as wrong. They aren't broken, there's nothing to fix about themselves, the progressive sphere doesn't treat mental illness this way, it rewards and champions it as a duty that others are required to adjust themselves for. So like I said at the top, they fundamentally reject the concept. I don't have problems, I have failures of others, of society, to do their duty towards me.
