More help needed for depression and anxiety sufferers

To enable sufferers and their families to understand what is happening if they or someone they know is suffering from a mental illness, more information needs to be available to ordinary families to enable them to appreciate what is happening .  This knowledge should lead to a better understanding of what happens in this sort of illness.  It should lead to an appreciation of what helps and what does not help the sufferer and enable them to cope with what is a very traumatic time in their lives, as well as other family members to understand what the sufferer is going through.  Depression and anxiety can be a very lonely illness and those who suffer from it often do not seek the help that may be on offer from those around them.
