I wish I was possessed by Robin's demon, then. He was a cool guy.

Translation: "Robin Williams was extremely witty, talented and popular. Now he's dead, we can get away with compensating for our insane jealousy by making the accusations we would have been sued for just a few weeks ago."
Although, I doubt whether Williams would have sued. More likely, he would have added the accusation to his next stage show and had a helluva good time with it.

Good point. Substitute "sued" with "ridiculed".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

people who think he killed himself simply because of depression are wrong
he mainly killed himself because of parkinsons
people with depression have very specific reasons why they actually kill themselves
yes he struggled with depression generally but depression isn't the actual reason for this specific act
he became most depressed about the parkinsons because it only got worse and had no apparent solution

So was it the Parkinson's or the depression about the Parkinson's?

I read somewhere that he might have been adversely affected by the Parkinson's medication which one possible side effect was that it causes suicidal ideation. Which is sadly a side effect of quite a few medications.
But it's possible that he might have been depressed as a result of the Parkinson's itself. I have also seen that Parkinson's patients are more likely to be unable to handle depression.
I don't think anyone will know exactly why.

I can attest to such side effects. Were it not for Shell I would not be here now.

Likewise.

Oh, and great, now everyone in my life is going to be watching me more closely because they know about my depression and don't want me to pull a Robin Williams.
FTW shows up after months and doesn't even say hello to me and no one even tells me!? Hey girly! How've you been?
