It is a big question if to help those who do not help themselves. We stop suicidal people, we feed anorexics, we treat schizophrenics... all against their will. And society thinks that is OK. Do people think for real those people should not be helped unless they help themselves?

I had hoped to finally break through to my friend, yes to "save" him. Because society does not see what he is doing as like the above categories, which I find random. In this society you are left to yourself if you treat yourself bad because of say depression, if you drink too much or if you eat yourself to death. Then it is all on you, to get motivated, to look for help.

I think that is wrong. I think that should be treated the same as the first group.
Thanks for this!
