Heres a challenge for everyone. What is your experience with mental illness and depression? My father was mentally ill. Labeled (correctly or incorrectly) a manic-depressive schizophrenic. Years ago, I went to bed for 3 weeks. Many of us have terrible difficulties when it comes to our brain. If we arent going to own up to it, nothing will change. It will be Newtown all over again. No differences - no improvements. I didnt choose my genetic component. Mostly, Im fortunate that I was even born. I recognize and respond. I take an anti-depressant. Many of us do. If you dont admit it, you are buying into the culture that says there is something wrong with you because you have a brain disease. Its not a choice. I didnt choose it. It happened to me because I was fortunate enough to be born. Help all of us make a difference. Robin didnt choose it. It was chosen for him - partly because of his brilliance. Its a curse. My father was brilliant. You get too much of one thing, you dont get enough of the other thing. Im proud - pleased as punch - to be the daughter of my father. He loved me unconditionally. I have no doubt that Robin loved the same way. Pay attention. Help us change the opinion of the world.
