I really hope the world can take something positive out of Robin Williams death. It brings even more light on depression and how serious this disease is. We need to take away the stigma put on mental health, especially suicide. Mental illness is a disease just like diabetes. It can strike any one of us at anytime. Its not something that shouldnt be talked about. The person suffering with the disease should never be told just get over it or how can you be depressed, you have everything going for you. Its a disease! In order to become well, it takes medication, good doctors, nutritious food, exercise and above all..loving and supportive friends, family and coworkers. Mental ilillness will continue to affect millions of people so why not talk about it. Dont hide it. Its affecting people in your life right now and I bet you had no idea. Im one of those people believe it or not. Alot of people close to me dont know this. It started post partum after the births of ny children. I have never contemplated suicide but I know the feeling of hopelessness and despair even though life has given me so many blessings. Please listen to your loved ones and give them the support they dont ask for but wish they could.
