Another celebrity down (Mr. Robin Williams). This is a very sad news indeed. Depression is a common mental health issue among notable personalities and celebrities around the world and especially in the western world. It can also happen to anyone of us, lets not pretend about that. I am not a medical expert in this field but, I believe that this could be an outcome of the huge pressures and expectations placed on these people. Our attitude towards each other should also be looked into. This is in the sense that we should be more kind and caring (genuinely) to one another, and allowed to air our fears whenever a person is faced with such changes, without the fear of been labelled as a psycho, when the need arises or presents itself. Some of us have so many thing going on in our lives which we are not very proud of or confident to table. Me think that attempted suicide and suicide could actually be a cry out for help from these victims.
