The manic public figure obviously had some overwhelming demons. I continue to believe there is a stigma attached to mental health issues and, while there may be a greater breadth of services, the depth is lacking.<br /><br />There is much to learn and discuss and I hope that Robin Williams' suicide will bring something positive in the aftermath.Aging Gaylyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886888900957765438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857795538755708479.post-18645296914935624242014-08-13T12:04:10.304-07:002014-08-13T12:04:10.304-07:00I was strangely saddened by the news of Robin Will...I was strangely saddened by the news of Robin Williams' death. I sometimes found his stand-up a bit too manic and exhausting. Even in interview situations, he was always riffing this way and that. He always seemed unable (or unwilling) to answer serious questions put to him. This often made me wonder about who the real person was in there.canoetoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726073879236883399noreply@blogger.com
