    Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.

    Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.

      I think the dementia diagnosis lead to his suicide but I think his life-long struggles with depression made him relatable enough to be a comedian that could become successful and not lose that relatability, unlike some one like Jerry Seinfeld.

        Oh I absolutely agree! Mental health colors art. In all forms. From comedy, to fashion, to traditional art, to music… art seen through the lens of depression is relatable to almost everyone at some point in their life.
