Treatment for depression is badly handled almost universally... It seems as if people still don't generally understand that it's more than 'feeling a bit sad'. If you break your knee, you will (99.9% chance) go and see a doctor. If the first doctor doesn't fix it, you'll see another. Your knee is broken, unusable, painful and you have a drive to fix it. A more serious injury will generally result in a friend/family member/passer by getting you to a doctor. If you suddenly enter a depression... even getting to the stage of seeing a doctor can fail, because suddenly everything is 'pointless' (bad wording. sorry.). And if you see them and they give bad advice, you maybe can't be bothered to see the next one. Or you miss the appointment because getting out of bed was too hard. Etc. It's more severe than most physical injuries because it affects your ability to seek help.

I really think we're dealing with some very complicated biochemistry here.
The human angle behind these stories transcends way beyond the business one.
