You would not tell someone with a migraine to snap out of the evil pain they are experiencing. Therefore telling someone that is challenged with mental illness of any kind, be it depression, or phobia, or anything mental, to snap out of it.
Let us be mindful with our words. Words have power…and snap out of it, makes one feel even more powerless!
