Robin William’s death: a reminder that suicide and depression are not selfish – Like for so many, news of Robin William’s death made my heart ache for days.

This one in particular stuck with me, so I thought I would share.
“A brilliant but tortured individual has taken his own life, and this is a tragedy. But levelling ignorant accusations of selfishness certainly won’t prevent this from happening again. People should never be made to feel worse for suffering from something beyond their control.”
