Ok. I guess "bad seed" is one possible angle. It seems like one that is unhelpful and lacking in compassion though.

Unhelpful because the greatest thing about therapy is that you actually get to rewire your brain. Almost literally. You learn new ways of thinking, processing and coping and then create alternative neural pathways so that you actually can get out of negative thought patterns.

Lacking in compassion because people who have mental illnesses are not "bad seeds." They are people in difficulty who need help. Mental illness can make you feel hopeless, that doesn't mean it is.
