The National Alliance on Mental Illness has just released the results of a much-anticipated survey entitled, “Gaps and Guideposts” on its site. The survey involved scores of Americans in three distinct categories: those who did not know anybody affected by depression, those who identified as caretakers of adults with depression, and depressed adults themselves. Seeking to discover Americans’ familiarity with depression and treatment options, the survey also uncovered a rising rate of acceptance of depression’s ability to affect people of all profiles and lifestyles, and of psychotherapeutic treatment to help conquer symptoms.

Hmm… this should give an idea about people’s understanding about depression when they are associated or disassociated with it… it will also give a fair idea about the difference of opinion between the different groups.
I assume the people who are involved with care taking of others that suffer from depression will know better and understand better about depression and also its implications and effects. this put them in a much better position to stay away from it themselves.
