    They’re picturing a depressed person as a nihilistic killjoy that doesn’t want to do anything and lives without a purpose, I’m assuming.

      That’s really fucking rich, considering most nihilists I run into want to gobble treats while performatively not caring about anything and effectively living without purpose. Someone being depressed probably cares enough about something that it hurts compared to that, while the apathy enjoyer continually buries such disquiet under consumer products.
