Before telling a depressed family member or friend that “it’s not that bad” or “just snap out of it,” I hope that you will please remember Robbin Williams. Clinical depression is a real condition with real symptoms that can be debilitating and even deadly. Clinical depression has the potential to
afflict anyone, even a celebrity with great comedic talent. As was apparently
and sadly the case with Mr. Williams, severe and poorly treated depression can
include such extreme feelings of hopelessness and despair that sometimes
suicide can seem like a reasonable action. The following online assessment tool
can help to determine if you or someone you know should seek professional
assistance: www.helpyourselfhelpothers.org.
