Society has made it so that it is somewhat of a taboo topic to discuss. Even if we pretend like it does not exist or that it can go away on its own, it is not just going to vanish. If we swap this approach to a proactive discussion of how the depressed person and his or her close ones can all help to battle it, there would be progress made. People will be more open to speaking about their struggles and hopefully, this would eliminate suicidal tendencies and the feeling of worthlessness.
