Or did depression suck the life out of 3 marriages before he decided enough was enough?

with out a doubt he was a dysfunctional person but the US have a fucked up thing called alimony.
it's a straw and camels back scenario.

My heart sunk when I heard the news.

Good Will Hunting is my favorite film and I must've seen this scene over a dozen times but it hit me harder than ever watching it earlier this evening.

Which in turn has fucked her up for life. What pisses me off is Robin Williams (unlike the rest of the population) had the money and influence to do some real good in the world. Maybe people who suffer with depression can answer this - if you help someone else does it make you feel good about yourself? If you know someone needs you doesn't that give you a reason or more reason to live?

Understand that for someone deeply affected by depression there is no link whatsoever between real world events and how they feel. Nothing they can do will help themselves, and the expectation that they can and should is possibly the most difficult thing they'll have to deal with.

Some find partial answers with CBT or similar therapy, but it takes discipline and energy that often simply isn't available from them in that state. Which is why it's such a bitch of a thing, it tends to deprive you of the tools to help yourself.

That is the kind of attitude that keeps people stuck where they are in my opinion, if you think there is no hope, then sadly there is not much hope for you.
ALL limitations are self imposed.

Is it depression or self obsession? I find it hard to be sympathetic to him. His family who have to deal with the guilt - that's another story. So many people in far worse situations fighting tooth and nail to stay alive. Hell he could have gone to Liberia and walked around Ebola stricken villages raising funds and awareness. Maybe that would have made him feel better about himself?

Unless you've been in the depths of real depression, that is a stupid assertation to make!When you're at the suicidal depths, reason and argument just don't get a look sideways and survival instincts can be all but crushed under the weight of despair and utter hopelessness and futility that engulfs you. It's not like the normal depression everyone gets in the usual ebb and flow of living.......
