    I haven't started to watch this and I don't know if I can. There was always something about Robin Williams that spoke to me in a way that impacted me on a very deep level. My first real exposure to him was Mork and Mindy, whenever that came out. I would've been around ten years old. At some point, the era around Comic Relief then into Dead Poet's Society and Good Morning Vietnam probably, I became very aware that there was something about Robin Williams that was really familiar. I was fascinated by the fact that such an outrageous persona could be molded into such deep and meaningful characters without losing the Robin Williams undercurrent. I don't know if that makes any sense, I'm just doing a chain of thought thing. What Dreams May Come, The Fisher King (a beautiful performance), Toys (remember Toys?), hell, even Hook were performances that communicated something to me that I just can't put my finger on but is really familiar. And then comes Good Will Hunting. And dontchya know, his speech to Matt Damon on that park bench? I lost my wife to cancer coming up on 9 years ago. We lived just outside of Boston. It's a scene I still won't watch to this day. I didn't even like his stand up all that much, but I understood completely what made him what he was. I am very similar - minus the success and all that success entails. It's still like a punch in the gut when I see stuff like this, and I struggle to watch. I miss Robin Williams.

    Nice to hear about his very beginnings in television. I saw the Happy Days start but never knew all the details of his specific start in the Mork & Mindy show. I think to see him at Juilliard would have been such a great experience! Oh… to be a fly on the wall, as they say. I think I would have loved to see Mr. Williams do Shakespeare…… what a treat that would be !!

    I have what robin had - bipolar disorder. I didn’t know he had it years ago as I didn’t know I had it either. He sacrificed his life to get a laugh or if you want to say to make people laugh. I could look back on my life and his and saw the see-saw of mania (and racing thoughts) and depression. It lookEd like to me - when he wanted humor with quick whit and fast talking he would go off prescribed medication or his addicted drugs that would bring on his natural fast humor.like good morning viet nam.when he wanted drama he took the mood stabilizers and antipsychotic meds. This replacement of the missing natural dopamean brought him to sanity. He did it but that was not his favorite where the drugs we’re presiptated in the neurotransmitters. Most people with bipolar know the high and some like it better than sanity. Being high is funnier than the other. He manipulated this seesaw. It was the life he lived. You can’t say it’s why he died, but you can’t say that him messing with his brain resulting in the many things that were wrong with him when he died. I was misdiagnosed at 29. Found out the disorder at 32. From 32 to 45 had 15 episodes. The last one I caught in the middle of it, but I cycled all those years. Robin was playing patty cake with a serious mental illness. His speech in this interview -- he’s going in and out of humor and proper speech. He’s done it for so long you don’t know if he’s medicated or not. The Lewis body dementia (sp) causes suicide not the bipolar. And he had Parkinson’s. What in the world had happened to him at the end. Doctors probably know what happened to him, but this genius body and mind paid for his not following the rules of someone with mental illness way year s back. Look how good Britney Spears did with a family that abused her.she was probably all around the “yes” people but she handles her career. And tried really ha rd to love her children. Bipolar without stablelizing meds is Robin Williams. I loved him.

      No, he wasn't. He'd become very depressed in the last few months of his life and had already started saying goodbye to his close friends, like Billy Connolly and Billy Crystal. He lost the will to live after he felt himself deteriorating physically and mentally because of his neuro disease, and also he was devastated by the cancelation of "The Crazy Ones." And maybe there were also marital problems and all these things combined just pushed him over the edge. If there had been anything suspicious about the death, the investigators would have picked it up. He was found with a slit on one wrist and a bloody knife near his body. You don't think if his wife had tried murdering him that night that he would have made noise and someone would have heard?
