I am not a mean person by encouraging someone to consider thinking of the present and not living in the past, especially given I am extremely sensitive to how terrible it feels to be depressed.
If someone were to listen to me talk about how I thought Doctor X or Drug X caused my depression, I would not admire them for joining in to dwell on the subject with me. I'd like them to get my mind off it.
Given I embarassed myself a lot of times doing just this, I wish more people were more open about how it's not healthy to obsess over the pathology of any illness. I admire the few people with the courage not to throw me their shoulder to cry on, and told me to get on with my life.
It wasn't easy, and I didn't want to hear them anymore than anyone else dose, but that doesn't change the fact they're the only ones who truly helped me in the end.
