 I guess they should just pull themselves up by their boot straps right?

 Sad that person has to live with that every day.  Hopefully the person responsible was held accountable.
Do they have a job or are they on Government assistance?  
Isn't one of the best ways to combat depression to be active (like work)?  Obviously we see things differently but it seems like a whole lot of people are using excuses not to work and be carried by everyone else.  Lots of things can cause depression, does that make it a reason to not be self-sufficient?  Not sure it does but I guess there are some unique cases.
PS. The person I know is LAZY believe me.
