They have a tendency to not use those exact words, though does it matter? You either do or don't. I have a feeling most of us don't anything just slows the progression. Some do though.

My mom is of a certain generation that believes a trip to the doctor is a wasted trip unless she gets a prescription. "I paid her all of that money and she didn't even give me medicine!" she will say.
I imagine if my mom was told "pills won't help you, go to therapy instead," she would hear "there is nothing that can be done, you are all on your own" because she believes therapy is "just talking to people, and I already do that." She can't understand that therapy is a very important, effective, and necessary means of treatment for certain problems. Often it is the only treatment.
The doctor said "pills won't help, go to therapy." That is absolutely not the same as "get over it," but people like my mom stop listening after they hear the part about pills. (It's really frustrating.)

My research on YouTube is just as valid as your published paper. Probably better. I mean, they're both peer reviewed. But yours was only checked by like half a dozen people. This video has hundreds of likes.

B: "I do that for a living. That is how it works."
A: "I don't do that for a living and I disagree."
LOL. Okay. Cool.

Mine were more like "it's all in your head."
To give the therapist credit, she wasn't like unsympathetic get over it, it was to explain to me directly, without sugar coating it. They offered pills and therapy, it was to try to intervene. Pills are kind of scary, I was run over at a scene, and now am having mobility issues, I have seen what those pills have done. Another Firefighter, he had a bad addiction, and COPD. Best friend of mine for years, died not too long ago. He would tease me about playing D&D. I have that COPD too. It's like ugh.

If you tacked on an appeal to lived in experience, this is exactly the track a bunch of people took in an internet discussion I stumbled into a few weeks ago.

It's like the background noise of the universe at this point.
