That is a fair point. I've heard it referred to as 'tough love.' Where I'm from I had a partner at work who was a depressed alcoholic. He had let the death of his son consume his remaining life. I had to literally pull him from a drunken stupor to get him to work more than once--despite his very vocal protesting--but he eventually remembered why he had enjoyed his job. It was not easy, nor was it pleasant for either of us, but he was too good of a detective to let him wallow in his self pity. Ultimately it was his own decision to change for the better though.
