  • Episode 8 - Robin Williams
    Sep 11 2020

    One of the most brilliant comedians and actors of our time, Robin Williams is without a doubt a Story of Success Through Darkness.   But his death, by suicide, has recently been denied and debunked, instead being attributed to a little-known degenerative condition called Lewy Body Dementia, which symptoms and results appear to mirror the many similarities of those who died due to suffering from severe clinical depression.  This episode delves into the taboo topic of suicide in the hopes that it's erasure arise because of a better understanding of mental illness by all and that those who are suffering seek the help they need and retain the awareness that through time, treatment, and love, this too shall pass.
