Comedian Robin Williams has died aged 63 from an apparent suicide, California's Sheriff Department has said.


The Sheriff's Office Coroner Division said it suspects Williams's death to be "a suicide due to asphyxia" but said a comprehensive investigation must take place before a final determination is made.

Because depression is something that we shame society for and we don't give others the things they need.

Someone who struggles with depression and post trauma, the most likely cause of death for them is Suicide.

 

Money and success doesn't make a depressed person happy, nothing we think that makes people happy does make them happy.

It's horrible depression, I see people suffering it, and it does hurt when you have no support to help them. Society doesn't help at large to deal with it, as it seems like a taboo to many people I've met.

Yeah, people don't understand how bad it really is, they can't get a grip or understand another's experience.

As a person with Bipolar I, people just don't understand what I struggle with.

They dont understand that somedays the depression is so deep and painful you can't even get out of bed

I think those who find the courage to end their lives by their own hands are some of the most couragous people.

They tried so hard to live life and stay up to everyones standards until it literally drove them to the edge.

And then even after all that, they found the courage to do what has to be one of the hardest and scariest things any person can ever do, to face death with open arms and find ever lasting peace.
