There's even a third season (idk if they did more, I don't have Netflix anymore) which doesn't have anything to do with the first one. Except maybe for the characters.
Yes! I read the book years before the show was announced, found it okayish but thought I'd give the show a chance. I was immensely disappointed. When they announced a second season I was just confused everything from the book basically happened, the story is over. What else would there be to make a second season? And it kept on going?
I think with some effort they could have made a solid one season show out of it. Like one episode per person/reason. That could have worked. It just felt like they tried to make as much money out of it as possible and rode the mental health awareness wave. I don't want to say that mental health awareness or shows/movies discussing that topic is bad but there is mental health awareness and there is milking a popular topic to get more views because you know that a huge part of people will simply watch because of the topic. That just does more damage than good.

True. Especially after they gutted the first season and then proceeded to milk the attention by making a second one.
