Despite there is increasing awareness of Depression it is still regarded today as a taboo issue. Many people handle others with depression without realise that their attitudes are not helping for example distance them from a depression person. Many people take various intolerant attitudes and actions including the old fashioned "stiff - upper lip" expectation and make "get a grip" comments making assumption that a person is a burden to everybody else. Also many people turn it into a blame game with remarks like "its not my problem" , "its your problem" and "sort it out" that kind of attitude can makes problems worse. Also 

Depression can affect different people in differently way does not matter how successful or not so successful you are. It is very important to be aware there is not one way for everyone to become and not become depressed.

Undervaluing Depression causes consequences 

Though the health care system round the world and in particularly in the UK, certain problems can occur. The examples of problems includes if you felt you feel suicidal and think you will commit suicide the support you been looking for could be taken away and then face unhelpful intervention such as being sectioned into mental institutions even if this is not the best option. This can happen if any doctors, psychologist, social workers and psychiatrist think you a perceived as a threat to yourself and others even if you dont. There is damaging stigma if you have been through a mental institution with offensive judgement. This could harm relation that person has with their family, friends and acquaintances. When you return from out of mental institutions the close and social circles of people round that person with distances them from that person or shun them in a disrespectful manner. This could causes exclusion leading to loneness, this is the last thing any one should face.
