Well, I'm in that boat. Even though I am on this site on a daily basis, my husband (who is the depressed one) doesn't have any interest in participating in a depression support group. He does read about it in books, but only to get a certain set of facts, not for comfort or reassurance or anything like that.

Some people are like that. You did what you could, and it was a good deed to raise your friend's awareness without pushing. Good job Ozzie!
