Very sad!! Robin Williams made us all laugh and cry ... but it sounds like inside he was silently suffering which so many people do because mental health has never had the attention other conditions and diseases have had. I know - I suffered suicidal thoughts after having a complete hysterectomy.
The fifth cause of death for men is suicide (and I believe women are not far behind ). Why is this happening? Someone gets cancer and people are all over it. Someone suffers from depression and they're just supposed to stop being depressed.
There are imbalances occurring in the brain. The brain is an organ just like the heart and lungs but yet there's no stigma around heart disease or chronic diseases of the lungs.
The only way this is going to change is if we as a society start to focus on all areas of health including mental. There should be no suffering ever from people who are diagnosed from heart disease to severe depression. No stigma around mental health. How many people do we need to lose before we change our thinking on this?
I will miss Robin Williams. He made me laugh and seemed to have such a light hearted way about him. His memory will Iive on through his children , movies as well as his comedic routines. He was one of a kind! He will be missed by many. My thots and prayers are with his family and friends he has left behind . May he finally rest in peace. I'm now going to watch my all time favorite movie of Robin's in his honor... Mrs. Doubtfire. I will laugh and I will cry and I will never forget the happiness he brought into my life! Blessings Robin!
