I lost my first hubby to depression; he shot himself in the head in our living room and it was so difficult for my daughter and me.
I am a volunteer with NAMI and I try to counsel spouses and children of those who suffer from depression.
Depression is insipid and it's often misunderstood. When I dealt with this with my first hubby, some friends told me he needed to get over it, and to pull himself up by his bootstraps, to chin up, to stop the crap and behave like a real man.
It's not that easy.
I am so sorry Robin Williams passed like this. We always enjoy actors and actresses but sometimes when they pass, we too feel the loss.
Rest in peace, Robin.
