Analysts say Robin Williams suffered from bipolar disorder though they cannot support it with enough evidence. They argue that, manic depression was behind the performances in many of his movies. Williams will throw away the script and act out his heart. He was almost always the comedian in the movies, making fun of serious life issues. One writer suggested that Robin suffered depression when he broke up with one of his former girlfriends and that, it affected his stage performances. Another suggested Williams was depressed when he was dropped from Julliard. He was also alleged to have been depressed with the Bush Administration not legalizing abortion. He was said to have been agonized by the plight of many who may not have the means to support the children they are carrying. One writer also reported in his work that Williams had been addicted to drugs at some time and stopped when his wife was pregnant with his first son.

True, but I think he actually wasn't nearly as well off as I initially thought. He was interviewed recently about getting back into TV and movies or tour doing stand-up out of necessity since he lost a lot of money in his 2 divorces. His TV show on CBS was cancelled earlier this year and he's had issues with alcohol for a long time.

I also didn't know much at all about him and his marriages. Married his 1st wife in the 80's, got caught having affair with a waitress (who sued him for giving her herpes), got divorced, got married again (to his son's nanny who was pregnant), then divorced again in 2008.

He said in an interview last year he could no longer afford his ranch http://www.trulia.com/property/30686...-Napa-CA-94558 in Napa and had to list it for sale. It was listed for $35,000,000 in 2012 and is now listed for $30,000,000. Surely he has a good chunk of equity in it (probably around $8,000,000-10,000,000) but those mortgage payments must be ridiculous ($150,000 a month).

Here's his house he lived in this yearhttp://www.zillow.com/homedetails/24...19267969_zpid/. Pretty modest at 2600 square feet, even though it's worth a lot due to the location.

I think issues with $ drove him to suicide. RIP.

Such a shame, one of the funniest actors of the 90's and also did some more serious work. Depression is a horrible thing...
