I'll start out with my Mom: There's nothing wrong with you - you're perfectly normal! (as I'm in the middle of a manic episode and rapidly switching to depression.)
And then there's my sister's all time supportive line as she calls me in the psych unit "Are you in the nuthouse AGAIN?"

The first psychiatrist I saw during a major depressive episode said, "There's nothing I can do for you". WHAt?!?!?! What the hell is he doing there then? This discouraged me and I spent a long time suffering, and putting my family through suffering, until I sought help from another one.
Then there was the therapist who told me I had split personalities and needed to do extensive therapy sessions with her for at least a year. I think she just wanted money.
Another therapist told me, "I don't know what to do with you". Maybe you should go back to school then.
