I would urge everyone to check out what Wendy has blogged about and provided a link for “Living with someone who has depression”.
Up to 1/3 of people suffer greatly from a mental illness such as depression in a lifetime but only 1/3 ever get help for this.
It is the greatest hidden and mostly untreated problem our society has.
Mental illness is greatly stigmitized, ignored and often unrecognized.

Mental illness is at the root of many problems our society has such as alcoholism which is often a self medicating approach to depression.

Internet blogs are revealing what has been hidden from most peoples experience or understanding.

The more this is talked about the better.
