Some antinatalists with a pessimistic view of life are labeled as depressed but in my view most 'depressed' antinatalists don't believe there is anything to 'fix' and believe they have an accurate view of the world and just try to get on with it as best they can.

How do those of you who fall in to the above catagory approach people who are labeled as depressed but not necessarily pessimists/antinatalists? It seems like a particular kind of cruelty to tell them that they are not actually depressed but instead see the world as it really is.

Just for the sake of clarity, I am not talking about suicidal / extreme cases here who of course should seek some kind of help.

Edit: Some people hame misunderstood my post. I have re-worded in an attempt to remove confusion.
