Ok kids

Let’s look at this.

This was a man who suffered from bipolar disorder, it was no secret.

Bipolar disorder is a very difficult syndromes that causes lack of judgment and an inability to care for self. They often become psychotic both in their upswing and in the depression. Very difficult disease. So it would not be unusual for him to look emaciated and disheveled. In psych hospitals part of the treatment included giving meal supplementation like Boost for their malnutrition.

He cut himself a few times SUPERFICIALLY with a knife. Pretty common with people in emotional pain. So closing the knife is a reasonable expectation.

They he hanged himself with a belt. People use all sorts of ways to hang, and his method is not really unusual. No the do not struggle and save themselves. They are trying to kill themselves.

People who live with bipolars learn to avoid them at their worst. Makes sense that she didn’t see him. She was probably hoping that he fell asleep and didn’t want to wake him up because bipolars often do not sleep for days.

Spot on.

That is when we try to keep our child closest. We let her cope in her room AFTER we search it for contraband. We take turns checking in every ten minutes. The manic episode usually subsides in an hour or so. If not, it's back to the hospital for another week's stay.

True about the bipolar disorder. My mother lives across the street from one. Her son had a mental problem and shot himself about two years ago. Her husband is a doctor. For some reason the boy would come and sit with my 90 year old mother and talk for hours.

If you had paid attention to the report, Williams had depression but was NEVER DIAGNOSED WITH BI POLAR or any other disorder. People just make things up here. I believed until I found the interview where he made that statement, no diagnosis of bi polar.

Millions of Americans have depression and very few commit suicide.
