In light of the passing of Mr. Robin Williams I would like to reflect on the disease of depression. For anyone who takes this lightly let me tell you, it is not a joke or just something you can just brush off. Depression is deadly. Depression is painful and damaging. I have been stricken with the disease and wanted to die because of it. I thought I had no one, I was always ignored and looked down upon because of the way I acted. Many people hurt those who are depressed because they don't understand. Just because someone looks nice and smiles doesn't mean they aren't depressed. It is an inward demon that tortures until it consumes. If you are depressed, don't ignore it, please talk to someone.
