Bipolar is a terrifying condition.

I watched one of those actors forum shows several years ago & he was very candid about his struggles with alcohol/drugs and mental issues.
Said he went into a very dark place when he was depressed. So bipolar/manic depressive..mixed with booze, not a good combo.

RIP

If it was suicide then it was a cowardly act. Like an abortion.

that’s complete speculation.
apparently he did suffer greatly from depression which his family and/or publicist has acknowledged. He was a big coke head way back when I can tell you that. much of his comedy routine was about being high.

Somewhat goofy analysis in that “Famous Bipolar People” trying to reason logically why he was bipolar (if in fact he was). I think bipolar people have been emotionally and mentally shattered typically at an early age and it would seem later for all intents and purposes not to make sense. It actually does make sense, but you have to go much deeper and further back usually in one’s life than superficial political or circumstantial disappointments later in life. Typically overreaction to those things are only symptoms of a deeper problem that goes way back in their childhood.
