Robin Williams death: a reminder that suicide and depression are not selfish
News of Robin Williams death due to apparent suicide, said to be a result of suffering severe depression, is terribly sad. But to say taking your own life because of such an illness is a ‘selfish’ act does nothing but insult the deceased, potentially cause more harm and reveal a staggering ignorance of mental health problems; the full article is here
I have been watching Robin Williams movies all week to remind myself of how great an actor he is, they include, The Fisher King, Awakenings, and of course Aladdin

Apologies if i upset anyone with my previous post.
I wasn't referring to any previous posts here, it was just that I feel that the media have been focusing far to much on how Robin died rather than the great loss felt by many across the world, and that Depression needs, to be shown as an illness rather than a weakness. Having suffered in the past and at present suffering with Depression I know only too well how far the human brain can turn towards the negative, I am lucky to have been asked two or three times over the past couple of months if I was going to hurt myself (It makes you think hard) and at present my answer is No, however, I really don't give a damn if I don't wake up in the morning. And with my line of work I always let my clients know that admitting to oneself and a medical professional, friend, anybody that one is having a problem is a strength not a weakness
