Is it just me or is it that extreme talent is often linked with extreme personalities? Robin was a flawed genius that carried so much laughter and heart wrenching sadness in his characters. Patch Adams, World According to Garp, Good Morning Vietnam, the list goes on and on... It's such a shame that his inspiration for these characters was born from his own depression. His talent was a gift to this world and he filled it with true laughter that we can identify with. Even if that laughter was often born from sadness and pain. R.I.P. Robin. I'm going to miss you.

It's often said the best comedians are the ones who have the biggest flaws in life. Comedy is born out of tragedy most of the time, after all... I guess he just couldn't find the comedy for himself anymore.

Well said. Often the saddest people are the funniest as well. We mask our depression with comedy so much so that no one would ever think we were crying inside. It's really hard to deal with and I've had suicidal thoughts as well. I really just hope to keep my head up and have some great people around me to keep me in good spirits and stop me from doing something is regret. RIP Robin, may you find where dreams may come.
