I have found it very sad but I cannot say it is triggering. I think because I totally understand it. I find it scary because I assumed he was getting the best possible treatment and it still got the best of him. But maybe he was not getting treated. I don't know. My mom said she heard an old interview re aired today with Terry Gross and Robin Williams in 2006 and at that time he denied that he had clinical depression. I do know he was very open about addiction and recovery but I do not remember him talking about mental illness.

Like TJ I hope that way more awareness and education and less stigma will come out of this but I don't hold out much hope given the state of the media today. Maybe on networks like NPR or the BBC but not anywhere else.
