RIP Robin Williams

RIP - Robin Williams if we can learn anything from his death it should be to seek help before its too late. 
I got some stats on suicide and depression in Australia scary statistics if you or anyone you know needs help. I strongly encourage you to seek help. It is not a struggle that you have to face alone and you would be surprised how many people have faced similar struggles. 

"On average, 1 in 6 people – 1 in 5 women and 1 in 8 men – will experience depression at some stage of their lives. There are different types of depression. Symptoms can range from minor (but still disabling) through to very severe."

"At least six Australians take their own lives every day. For every suicide, there are tragic ripple effects for family, friends, colleagues and the broader community."

Beyond blue has good resources and professional services available I encourage anyone effected by depression to seek help. There is no shame in living with depression or a mental illness the only shame is when you don't seek help.
