Why do some people dismiss depression as laziness or a lack of discipline?

[Heatman]

Andrew Tate is one of the worst human beings I've seen with so much social media influence on millions of men. Tate argues that people should avoid identifying themselves as depressed because he believes this can make them feel powerless. When I listen to the things he say about depression, I wonder if he's mentally sane or insane.

Have you seen people dismiss depression as laziness or a lack of discipline?
