Why Do Some Men/women Live in Denial About Their “Depression or Addictions”??

Question by I have an answer !: Why do some men/women live in denial about their “depression or addictions”??
Do they have to “hit rock bottom” to realize and accept their “desease” ? Do they have to “lose their family and friends” in order to realize, it’s time to get some professional help ? A dear friend of mine is going through this “depression and alcoholism” stage right now, (it’s been actually a while) and I have no idea how to help anymore ! She is a grown woman for crying out loud ! What else can I do ? I suggested to go with her to the AA meetings, called even “rehab centers” but the response I get is the same: “She is the only one who can admitt to her problem and do something about it!”
