"You don't take your depression seriously enough for me" helps me to understand where some people who don't understand (or don't care to understand) depression at all are coming from.

Maybe the real lesson is that a mangled hand actively gushing blood isn't really a great analogy for depression.

It's a very imperfect one, yes. But the comic is trusting that the reader will understand the metaphor. A big ask for some, it seems.
