Abstract
More than a fifth of South Africans will suffer from depression at some stage during their life but two-thirds of them will not get the support they need. According to the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), approximately 23 people commit suicide every day and for each complete suicide another 10 people attempt it. Tim Hart reports.-
