Someone I currently know (and people from the past) has been sectioned for depression and I feel so guilty they are suffering. I feel almost ashamed that I'm ok and they aren't. It's like I feel responsible somehow. How normal is this?

    Its a normal feeling but you have to know that you are not responsible at all. You can be there as a friend for advice but it is not your responsibility to make them ok again
