TLC Fans Fear For Ethan’s Mental Health
On Reddit this week, TLC fans discussed their concerns about Olivia Plath’s ex. The OP said in their caption:
Is anyone else genuinely concerned about Ethan?
This season and last season, Ethan has brought up depression to Barry, and both times Barry said the worst, most dismissive sh-t you can say to someone in a mental health struggle – just acting like it’s not real. Do yall think Ethan is getting help for his depression?
Other Welcome to Plathville fans agree that Ethan Plath could use some help with his depression. Here are some of their thoughts:
- This dude is crying for help in every episode. My boyfriend and I both noticed it. He’s gotten visibly more and more depressed since season 1. He also unfortunately comes from a family that is, to be blunt, kind of stupid in the mental health department like a lot of fundie families.
- Hot take but despite everything that went down I feel bad for Ethan. When I first started watching the show everytime he would smile it would make me want to smile. He has always had an infectious smile that is wholesome and genuine, now he’s just a shell of a person. I am not taking his side but I do feel for him in terms of his mental health.
- I think the Plath kids in general are all good people but were unequipped for reality thanks to their wackass parents. I feel for all of them honestly.
