Its a matter to worry.....
Whenever a person is in Depression, most of the people take it lightly and they think that if we will leave that person alone then he will recover himself or they feel that its not a big issue and in spite of helping the depressed person's problems they themselves become a problem for him and in this way nobody gives attention to the needy one and thus the situation become worst.

Around 33,300 Americans commit suicide every year. People should be aware of this serious problem and if they know someone undergoing through this problem then its a duty of them to help them,to guide them for mankind. Leaving that person alone in that worst condition could be dangerous because a depressed mind doesn't have the ability to think what is right and what is wrong. It can result in suicide or any other harmful activity.
