Depression may be described as feeling sad and blue, unhappy, miserable, down and withdrawn. Most of us have felt this way at one time or another in our lives but for short periods.
On Monday actor/comedian Robin Williams was found dead by his personal assistant in the bedroom of his California home. The coroner’s report indicated the comedian’s cause of death was “suicide due to asphyxia.” The actor suffered from severe depression.
Robin Williams was an incredible actor and a comedic genius, who apparently masked his pain and struggles in his stand-up routines. But who really knew he was depressed?
There are several forms of depressive disorders, join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss depression and the foundation needed to combat such a state.
All “Conversation links” in this post make it possible to access tonight’s show.
See you on the air!

Hmmm, depression as tonight’s topic VS. someone killing themselves 😥
I look at the latter as taking your life because you’re too scared to face reality. Whereas I look at someone who is depressed as someone who isn’t thinking clearly. Y’all get where I’m coming from?
THEN, I think that folks who kill themselves go to hell (because we belong to GOD).
BUT NOT if it’s depression
what y’all think?

Martin Lawrence said it a long time that comedians are some of the most depressed individuals cause the world expects them to bring others joy and be happy day in and day out and no one notices when their smile no longed reaches the eyes and no one is there to help them cause others cant understand why they cant make themselves happy. 😦
