DEPRESSION: a state of feeling sad, : a serious medical condition in which a person feels very sad, hopeless, and unimportant and often is unable to live in a normal way. :disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty in thinking and concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping, feelings of dejection and hopelessness, and sometimes suicidal tendencies. DEPRESSION IS REAL. And, it can affect ANYONE.....even a so-called selfish celebrity. Be careful who you judge. Are you willing to be thus judged? When someone feels HOPELESS enough to take their own life, it is important to bring awareness to WHY. Celebrity has the power/status to bring such awareness to the main-stream. So, I say.....post.....spread the word. Depression is seen as taboo by most -- not to be talked about.....something of which to be ashamed. A celebrity is still a soul, a human spirit, just like any of us. Amid all the other tragedies and disgraceful wrongdoings going on around our world, depression (and ignoring depression) is also real and on that list. It is imperative not to ignore the seriousness of it. Who knows.....someone very important to you could be suffering with depression right now and is afraid to reach out to you because they have heard you verbalize that being in a state of torture inside themselves, dark enough to cause them to consider taking their own life, is deemed selfish by you. Dont judge. Show empathy. Spread compassion. It could help to save a life...even one closer to you than you think. Rest In Peace, Robin Williams. #son #husband #father #brother #uncle #friend
