I once confided to a friend that I was depressed, and had been for much of my life. She immediately said, "Try going out and making some new friends. Take up a new hobby, like gardening." She meant well, but she'd probably never suffered from depression herself, so she had no idea what she was talking about. (I think that most people who've never been depressed think that they do know what depression is like. They say things like "Everyone gets depressed from time to time." They equate ordinary sadness with depression. They just don't get it.) A good thing about Psycho-Babble is that it puts you in touch with people who do get it.
