Having been a poster here for a number of years, I must comment that I don't see very much of what you speak of. I can think of a few posters that might fit your characterization, but there aren't very many of them. I could count them on one hand.
What I see a lot of is the epiphany some people experience when they are finally able to experience life without depression. On the other hand, I also see some resentment by others of psychiatry in general because all of there problems are not solved by drugs. I guess they were expecting for drugs to deal with their issues. They learn that only people can deal with issues. Drugs don't deal with issues. However, drugs can help mitigate the depressive and anxious states that hinder or prevent them from dealing with issues and functioning in general. When one is severely depressed, every aspect of life becomes an issue. It is amazing to see how many of these issues evaporate when one achieves remission.
