The tragic and untimely death of comedian Robin Williams has brought Bipolar Disorder and Depression out in the open. His death is a sobering reminder of the potentially lethal results that all too often accompany mental illness and addition. Mr. Williams was an incredibly talented actor/comedian whose passing will be mourned by so many. What is important for everyone to understand, however, is that there are clinically proven and effective treatment options for people who suffer from these problems.
Sadly, in the throes of depression an individual often feels hopeless. As the darkness of depression envelops them, the person may think that “I am hopeless and things will never get better”. They may isolate and withdraw from their family and the people who care for them. This isolation from the world only serves to fuel the depression and increases the likelihood of a person becoming suicidal.
The truth? Recovery from addiction and mood disorders is possible. Healing and wellness from these disabling conditions exist. Advances in our understanding of depression has led to remarkable breakthroughs in treatment. Support systems are available today which help individuals to not only survive but to thrive in life.
