Most of all, we need to erase the stigma of asking for help with mental issues. Too many people see those with mental health problems as weak-minded, causing those who suffer to abstain from seeking help to avoid the negative stigma. There is also the perception that a lot of depression is "just in your head," and those that see it that way do not recognize it as a legitimate health issue.
In my experience, the two scenarios that ended the worst when someone struggled with depression were cases in which the person involved was afraid to ask for the help they truly needed.
