Bringing attention to issues involving depression, like Allie did -- like you're doing -- is important, if only to highlight and bring awareness. I sometimes fear I'm like those people she mentions who "try to help" but really don't, so readings things like these aren't boring or need hiding -- they're needed so that others like me can try to understand and learn how to really help, if we can.
