Something I really didn’t catch during my first watch through, House cares, House cares a LOT. He acts like an asshole but from his point of view he’s taking the most pragmatic and efficient route possible to save his patients, willing to risk firing, jailtime and even death to do so; the few times he loses a patient (or friend) he’s devastated.
My interpretation was that he cares about solving the riddle in time, kinda like competing with the diseases to show he’s better. I don’t remember anything about him caring about the people specifically, except for a few specific patients that he liked.
I missed all but maybe like 5 or max 10 episodes of the entire show.
But cops in cop shows have struggles too.
(If I’m understanding you correctly they’ve shown some light on mental issues, which is prob a good thing if actually done correctly & not just for bs character credibility/growth.)

Specifically he starts season 6 in a psychiatric hospital and season 8 in prison. As always he tries to cheat his way out of the system, but ends up being humbled in season 6 and committing to treatment. He fakes his death at the end of season 8, because he’s going to go back to prison (damage caused by a prank gone wrong), Wilson has cancer and House would be in prison well past Wilson’s estimated remaining time.
I guess you missed the parts where House had to contend with his own mental health issues and the moments of warmth and care the guy displayed.

How’d you miss that?
First time I watched I was like 11.
Oh well that’d be it then, yeah.
Apologies for having what was perhaps an agecentric take.
