MODERATORS
It really, really depends on the situation and delivery, and you're doing a lot of heavy lifting with these assumptions. There are plenty of situations where a psych nurse saying that to a patient might make perfect sense, as well as lots of situations where it'd be inappropriate.
I’m coming at this from the angle of somebody with chronic depression, which is as valid a starting point as any other psych condition.
I don’t know OP’s situation, but I do know what it’s like to have my experiences and feelings invalidated - my own mom’s denial meant I couldn’t receive professional help until I was an adult.
Not all psych patients have trouble correctly identifying their feelings. Or is the assumption that psych patients lie? Either way, it’d be wise to reconsider one’s stereotypes. I see no reason to assume OP’s condition one way or another (and indeed, any story on the internet should be questioned), but I do know how dangerous denial of help can be for somebody who’s suffering.
