Bullshit. He’s on the proper medications for his medical conditions. But if I ever want to replace his highly qualified physicians with someone who has more political ambition than medical knowledge, I’ll drop you a line.

Why don’t you just read his word? He and his apostles all said one must endure to the end.

Why don't you learn about mental illness rather than "JUDGE" those who endure it and sometimes loose their battle with it. It's called Illness for a good reason because there is usually a medical reason behind it doctors may or may not be able to treat nor for that matter properly diagnose.

The medical term Treat is not the same thing as CURE in some cases especially in ones involving more serious illnesses. For many disorders there is no cure only treatment and in some cases it only does so much to help.

What did Jesus do when he encountered ones which today we would consider mental illness? How many times did he condemn them for their behavior or deeds? Not even the one who was so self destructive that he threw himself in the fire was condemned by Christ. But Christ knew the very name of the tormenting disorders {one was likely Schizophrenia aka Legion} and cast them out. Can you cast them out? No? Then stop judging persons who can't cast them out from within them howaboutit.

We all should endure to the end in our belief in and followers of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior which is what the passage meant. Yet we all will leave this earth overcame by some illness will we not?

Mental Illness especially the more serious forms of depression, Schizophrenia, Manic Depression, and even sometimes PTSD, the illness overcomes the patient just as cancer or heart issues do others.

Some are posting it's the cowards way out. Fine lets see them man up and refuse medications when their body is in torment from Cancers etc. Be a man up taking meds is the cowards way out /sarcasm.

GOD will be Robin Williams judge of his eternal soul. How WE judge him is how we will be judged. Only GOD knows Robin Williams abilities of understanding, reasoning, or lack thereof.

In the mean time many are out there hurting teetering on the edge in their pain. They may see no other out. It may be a chronic substance abuser.

Or it could be like the first person I knew to commit suicide. She was a 70 year old motherly woman who was a devout Christian and jumped off a bridge one afternoon ending her life. This was after she had been hospitalized for depression a few weeks earlier back in the early 1970's. She was the church secretary. Why did she do it? No one knows except she had suffered a nervous breakdown a few months before. That breakdown lead to the end of her life. "Father forgive them for they know no what they do". People in their right might usually do not choose to end it without serious {in their eyes} cause.

Rather than posters saying Ticket to hell, Coward, etc, as Christians they should be encouraging persons feeling that deep in despair to PLEASE GET HELP. Talk to someone who can help.

You should look into it, you would quickly change your mind, especially the testimonials from those that have gone that route. (or not, one can lead a horse to water...)

Can it ever. It isn’t something I like to think about but I’ve been there.

Why don’t you learn about life from our creator?

Illness has a cause, and Yeshua described it in each of his healings, with the same words “Go and ____ no more.”

What was that word?

Disney’s team let Williams run wild in the recording studio, and they animated him later. That was how they were able to keep up with him.

Sounds like hanging to me.

Most likely.

But with stories like those of the singer of band,INXS,(sp?)Michael Hutchence, David Carradine, and occasionally confused teenage boys, auto-erotic asphyxiation popped in my mind.

Ironic that the manic phrase of his manic-depression influenced his manic, rapid fire humor made him famous, however, the flip side, the depressed state literally destroyed him, it appears.

A very talented but tragic man.

Probably just another case of falling into the Hollywood Groupthink.

The industry isn’t kind to those who stray from the party line.

Sorry, I’m done. You’ve sealed the deal with your coy evasions and arrogant insistence on ignoring reality.
Too bad — you’ve been here a long time, and I know we’ve probably agreed on a lot in the past. But I don’t believe God wrote words in a book that intended us to suspend all further inquiry and wonder into the world He gave us. I don’t believe the study of medicine is evil.
