There's an old Japanese proverb that goes something along the lines of 'the nail that sticks out is the first to get hammered down'.
If we are more readily-able to detect the effects of deppression in our fellow neighbors,
then maybe we are more likely to contain the negative response that might stem from such mental illnesses.
Then, a chance could arise that we will be able to effectively reduce such horrific occurences as this one.
