I knew of someone who committed suicide after being depressed for about a year without seeking medical help.
It is a lot harder to deal with depression than other illnesses because of the stigma being attached to it as a mental illness.
Children who have been told to suppress their grief and told not to cry have a lot of difficulty dealing with grief when they grow up. It is this inability to deal with grief and get over it quickly that leads to depression in these individuals.
