"Rates of depression have risen by more than 18 per cent since 2005, but a lack of support for the mental health combined with a common fear of stigma means many do not get the treatment they need to live healthy, productive lives."   

Instead they destroy the people around them that do try to help to the point where they leave them for their own sanity preservation! Living with a depressed person who doesn't get treatment OR who WON'T help themselves does no one any good!!
