    I mean do you know for a fact he isn’t depressed? Comedians tend to do a pretty good job covering it up.

        Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.

            Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.

            Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.

              I think the dementia diagnosis lead to his suicide but I think his life-long struggles with depression made him relatable enough to be a comedian that could become successful and not lose that relatability, unlike some one like Jerry Seinfeld.

                Oh I absolutely agree! Mental health colors art. In all forms. From comedy, to fashion, to traditional art, to music… art seen through the lens of depression is relatable to almost everyone at some point in their life.

                  It’s the internet, you’re not supposed to agree.

                  You’re supposed to call me a dumbass and explain in detail why.

                    You’re a dumbass and I’m certain you’re just like your namesake, I have so much more to say were it not for the fact that I’m extremely busy with important stuff!

            I’m pretty open with my struggles with depression and how I managed to actually overcome them with persistence and treatment. So, no, we’re not.

            Won’t be lettin strangers on the internet erase all my hard work.

              I hope you understand it was a joke, and if not, it’s probably good to try and recognize humor to fight real depression. :)
