Yes, these are the people I find most irritating. It isn't just psych issues they do this with either. My husband has a debilitating degenerative neurological pain disorder that he has coped with since 1985. The pain is so bad that doctors implanted a morphine pump to gain some semblance of control over his pain (that is NOT a casually made decision by a doctor). It amazes me how thoughtlessly people will say things like if he would just do this exercise or take this vitamin or whatever then it would take care of his pain, like a) he hasn't tried hard enough, and b) his pain isn't so bad. BUTT OUT!
