yea i just found out about it couple hours ago....shocked, his smile and personality was brilliant, yet under it there had to be chaos that made him want to end his life....

he always smiled with such warmth, it kills me to see him end it with all the smiles he gave people

My concern is that the media will continue to focus on what were the workings of Robin William's psyche that led to his suicidal act and history of addiction. So far, I have seen only one commentator on CNN remark that his depression was likely the result of a biological mood disorder. I think it will be important for mental health advocacy to determine whether or not Williams was suffering from an illness like bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder.

I also thought bipolar as he had lots of energy at times could have been the cocaine of course. But as news is released. I am sure if he was on any medications those will also be. And depending on what they were will have a good idea of diagnosis. I wonder if he was recently put on an ad and this caused the suicide? Phillipa

I think that suicide is taken to be diagnostic of mental disorder... Society doesn't condone that it might be anything other than the decision of an unfit or impaired mind...

Wow, though. This news really blew me away. He was a genius, for sure. Haven't felt like this since Micheal Jackson passed... I wasn't that much into his stuff, but genius, for sure, again.

I am too young for Lauren Bacall...

Dead Poets society... Was huge for getting me interested in wanting to be an English teacher... Awakenings... He was a truly gifted actor. So sad about this.

I even did the 'how many fingers do you see' trick once... When I was being assessed by a doc after an OD or similar... The doc didn't get the reference. But then apparently my communication style is impaired... Say recent immigrant doctors ahaha.

Television channels over here are digging out all his old movies, though. So... Can look forward to some quality movies on freeview for a change. So many I haven't seen. Good morning vietnam tonight... Good will hunting tomorrow...
