On this, the anniversary of my brothers death due to suicide - TopicsExpress



          

On this, the anniversary of my brothers death due to suicide (8/13), I cant help but react to all that is happening and being said about Robin Williams. Clearly, money, fame, friends and lots of laughs does not fix depression. We dont have to understand why this happens.... just know that it does happen. When a child/friend/loved one says, I think I need glasses does that make you uncomfortable?? Do you think any less of them?? Judge them?? Would you be shocked?? No. You would take them to the doctor and get them what they need. Mental illness is no different. It is up to EACH one of us to take the stigma out of depression.... but how? Let friends talk....offer support... dont act shocked or be dismissive. I challenge anyone dealing with depression to speak openly to someone about it.... you never know..... you might be helping THEM out. Peace to you all!
