There are plenty of people who go through those things and can't just up and go to a pub or club or large social situation and just party the night away like normal people, and it's definitely NOT 99% of the people out there who go through the above. If that were the case, we wouldn't have such a huge number of mental health clinics and they wouldn't be so hugely booked all the time helping people get back to the point where they can hang out with a moderate sized group of friends, let alone a huge group of strangers.
People go through cancer, loss of family members, rape, and such other tragic things, and yet you can still take them to the pub or club and they'll party the night away like any other normal person would.
