Most people just think you should take some drugs & tell you to "get over it". They have no idea what real depression is. After working in mental health for decades I have seen so many good people unable to resist that fleeting moment of suicidal impulse as they only way they can see to end their emotional pain. Mr. Williams seemed to be a very sad core since his heart surgery and there is much evidence linking heart disease & open heart surgery to serious depression. The mind seems to not be able to handle trauma to the heart. Someday I think they will find that the heart truely is connected to our soul. People need to stop stigmatizing mental illness, shaming those who suffer from it & support them & their families & reseach. To not recognize mental illness as part of the human condition is to deny that we are emotional beings & we have lost millions of good people to suicide because of it.Ellen in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484004145095198712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-18088238355620501002014-08-12T23:10:48.636+00:002014-08-12T23:10:48.636+00:00Give Winnie a hug.
