It is not the point of this. The point of this comic is to try to make people who never had mental health issues understand how it feels from our point of view when you give your clueless and tone deaf advice.
Would you not be at least a bit annoyed if somebody told you to "just think positively" when you are drowning? To you it might sound ridiculous to make this analogy, as you don't see a person literally drowning when you see a depressed person. But to us it can feel exactly like this.
