The Black Dog

Last week saw the tragic death of one of Hollywoods most well known and loved comedians.  This sort of news is upsetting at the best of times but what made this event all the more devastating was that Robin Williams made the decision to end his own life.  It soon transpired that alongside a long running battle with alcoholism, Williams was suffering with severe depression.  To anyone who has not had first hand experience, it may seem odd that someone such as this would be suffering from depression.
