Your use of the word "responsibiltiy" sounds a bit Landmarkian.
There is quite a bit of this kind of jargon used in Landmark Education as part of that group's philosophy.

Landmark is a very controversial group and certainly not a program or philosophy I would advise anyone to rely upon.
If someone is experiencing prolonged depression they should see their doctor. This would prevent further problems such as cult involvement or getting mixed up with large group awareness training like Landmark.
Serious and prolonged depression is something a professioally trained person such as a medical doctor, clinical psychologist or a lincensed counselor would evaluate, advise upon and treat.
This all seems to be getting quite a bit off topic for this thread.
