There is no such thing as empathy anymore.

But there is stupidity.

Separated identical twins have an incredibly higher chance of depression than two people chosen at random. That proves there is a genetic factor. This means that by any definition it is a disease.

Some of the comments here condemning Williams or anyone else who commits suicide are flat-out ignorant, and nasty, as well.

How about empathy for his family?

The worst response to suicidal thoughts is to join in a pity party with the depressed person. That simply reinforces his temptation of hopelessness and independent thinking separate from God’s Plan.
