Dude should maybe consider seeing a doctor about his “hand”.

This would be the correct response when you met them.
Which shows you have the right idea.

Instead of this comment, which is victim blaming.
You are presenting yourself as the same as all the other characters in the comic.

The correct response would be “none of the other characters told them to get help, or tried to help them”.

This is about others not taking depression seriously. The difficulty in getting treatment is another matter.

Thats why they put hand in quotes… it was sarcasm implying that the character needs to see a doctor about his depression

Yes, I know. As I said, not the point of the comic.

I was sad once and then I realized that I can control my emotions and decided not to be sad.

That’s great that you didn’t have chronic depression! Millions of others do.

Glad that worked for you…now try living a few billion other people’s lives and tell me it works.

Any time I’m having strong feelings, simply turn off my emotions and become an automaton that exists to serve others.

My bosses love it. I’m going straight to the top. And once I’m finally in charge, I’ll be free to dump all my emotional baggage on my underlings while insisting they need to toughen up.

The others would probably take his problem a lot more seriously if he had at least tried to get it fixed. If you are going to walk around with a mangled blood gushing hand for a prolonged period of time, without seeking help, then you should probably stop whining about it, because I can’t do anything for you. I can’t force you to go to a doctor.

A lot of these comments are really proving the point of the comic. Nowhere does it say that anybody took his ailment seriously, yet it’s the victim who’s at fault.
