RT @GeigerinGirl: TW: Suicide This is about Robin Williams.
I had no idea Robin Williams had Lewey Body dementia when he passed… he must have been in so much pain and suffering.
Robin Williams died after impossible suffering. LBD feels more common but I suspect we just diagnose it more. If I got it I’d take up BASE jumping.

‘One professional stated, “It was as if he had cancer throughout every organ of his body.” The key problem seemed to be that no one could correctly interpret Robin's symptoms in time.’ https://t.co/JmOofyaTR7

Wow, didnt know this about Robin Williams.
Wow. How am I just reading about Robin Williams diagnosis! Comedians and audiences alike are so desperate for the sad clown narrative when it was so much more complex.
They mentioned Robin Williams had Lewy Body Dementia but didn’t mention how severely he was impacted in those few months prior to taking his own life. It wasn’t just a battle lost to general depression, his body betrayed him.

This is a heartbreaking read about Robin Williams’ LBD. My dad had LBD, and I can see so much of his story here. And so much of my family.

I never heard this about Robin Williams. What a terrifying decline that would have been, and so scary to not know why. I feel for both him and his wife.

this article hurt me so bad
I cried reading this. this is what we're working for. may he rest peacefully now😔
My father is in the final stages of this disease
This is rough to read
Robin Williams suffered from a severe brain disease, not diagnosed until after his death, which made his life miserable until his suicide. He had been depressed in the past but got through it; brain disease killed him.
CW suicide, but just learned Robin Williams didn’t just die from a relapse, but a degenerative disease
@biggestjoel He was diagnosed after his death, per this article, from autopsy: https://t.co/NGFd1dBPJZ It's pretty damning about the state of *medicine*. But the media couldn't report things that nobody knew.
I had no idea that Robin Williams suffered from this condition (Lewy Body Dementia). The predominant discussion in the media was definitely that it was the depression that took him. Reading this from his wife is heartbreaking, and even moreso since it's no
Important, powerful article.
