Well, I'd still be shocked. But you probably were more in-tune with his interviews and what he shared/didn't share about himself. Now that I read more and more about him, I see that he never admitted to having a mood disorder (depression or bipolar dis.), though he clearly did. He didn't get help. He was incredibly sensitive.

Everyone is shocked and saddened and he himself would be surprised from the outpouring of love he is being given. from what I have been seeing, the people who interviewed him speak so much of his goodness and how much they laughed. I watched a beautiful story about Coco the silverback gorilla. Robin visited with Coco who knows over a 1,000 words in sign language. The lady who cares for Coco stated that when Robin visited Coco, Coco just lost a friend and was sad. the visit was the first time Coco smiled and a bond was made. This lady told Coco the sad news and Coco placed her fingers under her eyes and and went down her cheeks signifying tears. Wow! i agree with you as well, depression is not an off/on button but a chronic physical condition of the brain that must be monitored with medication just like the heart or kidneys or whatever. There may be good days or bad days but it is chronic and must be maintained like anything wrong with one's body. i am glad you mentioned thatBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.com
