No one deserves mental health problems. But i think the matter is compounded when they aren't getting the help and support they need. You say you don't want it for yourself - what are you doing to try and help the matter? When we feel whatever it is that's demotivating and exhausting us it can be very hard to know where to turn or what can be done. But people DO recover. I hope you find some hope in that at least. Perhaps if you elaborate on the appropriate boards people may at least be able to share with you their experiences and by extension provide some comfort.
