I didn't see anything in the article about seeing herself as a victim or it being ”core to her identity." I think you might be projecting here.

In fact, I see her desire and efforts to normalize depression as an attempt to move away from victimhood.

> You don't want your identity to be "depressed person", because the last thing you want is to start feeling like a fraud when the fog starts to lift.

You also don't want to assume because the fog lifted, you should completely disassemble the support mechanisms you have built. Like with cancer remission, there is a signifant chance of relapse that can be somewhat mitigated by good monitoring amd timely interventions.
