I think some of the answer has come out already in discussions with the Mental Health Commission of Canada. I think being able to recognize the early warning signs is important. Mental illness can sometimes be the result of a person's social situation, his family life, or his having suffered some form of abuse.

We need to address stigma head-on so that people who are depressed can feel comfortable enough to approach a gatekeeper or a physician. I do think physicians are part of the solution. I think that teachers are part of the solution too. Individuals who feel comfortable talking about their problems and seeking either medical treatment or other forms of treatment are important as well. As a society, creating the conditions in which people can feel comfortable talking about these issues will go a long way towards ensuring that we can move forward.
