One can do a lot on their own... and in the end it's you who has to help yourself. Everything else is just crutches. And crutches won't walk the walk for you.

It's because depression is not a great time to go enforcing personal responsibility in some cases. We want to help them, but it is true that they have to realize, for themselves, that they need help. You, in a sense, can't prevent them from hitting rock bottom, and that, for me, is hard to cope with.
I speak of that dynamic, not the one true answer to treating depression. If you read the post carefully, chances are, you'll interpret the correct message.
