Like it's really hard to explain to people how some antidepressants and anti anxiety meds just... obliterate your emotional range. Yes, you don't feel extreme distress and crippling depression any more. The medication keeps you on an even keel. But it's too even. Your brain might not feel sad any more, but it also can't feel happy. You can't feel any strong feelings at all.
There is an old principle in journalism that showing an entire battlefield of bodies is not nearly as effective as focusing on a single one. Similarly, statistics are not nearly as compelling to emotional response as a single story. So take the grief and anguish from out case and multiply it by all the cases every years and you get a sense of the enormity of the evil.
