one of the best articles Ive read in wake of the sadness many of us are feeling...Ive refrained from commenting on posts by friends of friends who have made inane comments about depression and suicide, most, of course, from those who really dont know what theyre talking about. Unless you have had depression or known someone with depression, how about make a point to learn something about the illness before judging or offering your professional opinion? I remember reading something Jonathan Winters (who Robin Williams admired) once said, that the brain can get sick, just as your heart does. Simple, yet so true. I long for the day that we can say depression out loud and when all realize that it exists because an organ in the body is not functioning properly. Just as a pancreas or a heart or a liver malfunctions, so can the brain. We should be no more embarrassed or afraid to say depression than we are diabetes or arrhythmia orcirrhosis. -end of rant-
