Sa mga Filipino pag may kaibigan ka or kamag-anak ka na depress, minsan kinaiinisan pa ----- Ito ang mga normal na responses natin sa taong depress.., "Ang emotional mo naman".., "umaarte lang iyan".., "kulang sa pansin, just seeking attention hayaan mo siya"..., "kasalanan mo at depress ka"..., "im sure she/he will get over it" .., "it is not my problem may problem rin ako" .., "its the same old thing, paulit-ulit na emote naman".., "palagi naman siyang negative ayaw ko mahawa" .., "later"...," sorry I have no time with his failures" .., "rebelde siya kaya siya walang kaibigan" .., "its his fault why his alone".., etc..,etc.

It is our insensitivity to our love once, to our friends, to our wive, to our husband, to our children that may lead us to lose more beautiful individuals like Robin Williams, Kurt Cobain, Ernest Hemingway, Marilyn Monroe and the likes of Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, Anna Nicole Smith and Heath Ledger who we have also lost due to dependency from anti-depressants drugs.

We pray for people who are sad and lonely; pray we maybe a channel to help our own not to fall into clinical depression. 

I hope I will not be hated if I will share these --- I am not surprised if Robin William died taking his own life as his apparent cause of death. All over US suicide is ranked 7 as "cause of death" for male in all ages. Suicide is number 1 for male and number 3 for female as cause of death for ages between 34-44 US data. 

To trim it down in New York suicide as "cause of death" is ranked 6. Close to 83% of all suicide cases in the US are cases recorded in California. 

As of August 11 in the US Robin Williman is added to the 30,271 stat casualty for severe depression resulting to suicide for 2014.

-----------------------------------
In the Philippines, suicide death rate is increasing especially amongst teenager. We should be watchful if we see someone who is grieving, very sad and is isolating himself. Do not ignore, do not disregard; be concern and make yourself available for that person, you might be saving someone's life even if she/he not a relative. 

As a confession suicide came cross my mind year 1997 I almost fell into it. Thank God I am still alive right now, and thank God for Gilbert Ravago a loving neighbor/brother who was in a way watchful with our family during that time. Thank God for my 3 loving sisters who are also my barkada when we're much younger. 

I believe the real medicine for someone who is stricken by clinical depression is family love and support, another person or someone who is willing to be with the person in time he/she is clinically depressed. Last May-June of this year, I was so afraid I will lose my Lola from depression, I am glad we have a strong family to be there for her. Now aged 85 she is happy and even getting much stronger. 

OTHER THOUGHTS LURKING IN MY MIND. 

I believe Robin William is a goodman, how he acted on screen speaks of who he really is. 

I miss this in FOX Movies, I wish I have a way to get a full length of this Robin William 2002 classic.., soon.
