RIP, Robin Williams?

I get that, but you wouldn't say that about someone who died of cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. Depression is a mental illness that's every bit as deadly and hard to treat as any other disease.
In some ways its harder to treat because of the stigma. People hide depression due to fear of what others think, and some never get treatment because of it.
 
honestly, feels like we have all lost a friend. The tragedy of his depression is something many of us either have struggled with personally or a loved one has struggled. may he find peace.
 
What the hell was the film he made with Pacino where he was a serial killer? I liked him best in serious roles like GWH and Dead Poets always makes me blub when they get up on the desks.

You're right, it does. At least it does to me. I'm surprised by how affected by this I am. I never met him. and didn't know him, but I'm gutted and so very sad.

If they hide it, then there's nobody to blame but them when they die due to it or something related to it...

As for me, I've had it for years, & admitted to it much of that time. Seen all kinds of "psych" people, none of which helped, & am currently on anti-anxiety stuff that also helps 0.

Regardless, irony is Robin helped me (& some others) lessen/hide/fight their depression.

Me too in a way. It's peaked my curiosity about depression. Why is everyone so depressed?

I can understand great sadness, pressure, expectations and such but why would Robin Williams be depressed?

Often I hear someone committed suicide and I say well, that figures. But this putz? He had it all.

And I am sorry for commenting so much and for being a little crass but this is all wrong.

What he did was wrong.

No; The fact that it got this bad without anyone helping is wrong; Look at all the posts/comments everywhere of people saying how much they loved him/his work, & how much he helped them... Yet nobody worked to return the favor.

Also, he didn't have it all, as he clearly had nobody to help him.

Poppycock.

For some of us we'll always feel alone. No matter how much reality is different. We feel like we'll never fit in and people will never understand us.

Add this to the list of incurable diseases, & call it "living suicide" or something; You're still breathing & semi-active, but your biggest problems are your own dang fault.

Thanks. After a post like that I suddenly feel a lot better about myself.

don't talk crap, please. it's hurtful and cruel to anyone who has ever lost somebody to suicide, and insulting to these who suffer from what is a real and physical illness.

I am one of those people, so I know how they feel about people who "talk crap", which is why I am never one of them.
