Personally, since he took his own life, I haven’t watched his movies. It just to depressive to know he was faking the happiness. It just seemed so authentic, his natural happiness. It’s a shame that he was suffering silently.

All acting is fake. A lot of actors probably suffer from depression/anxiety. RW probably still enjoyed making those movies tho, and now you get to enjoy them.

He took his own life because he had dewy body syndrome, which is untreatable, very horrific to experience and very fast. Depression didn't kill Williams, one of the very worse degenerative neuro diseases that exist did.

So hopefully you can now enjoy his movies again.

Wow. I'll admit I'm not really a movie person so I wasn't familiar with him and didn't really follow the news, but the impression I got from, like, everywhere, is that it was from depression. Like I swear there were posts everywhere like "you never know, even if they seem happy and smiling, it can happen to anyone" and just... etc. So that was all total misinformation?! Wow.

Indeed, that was what most of the things about it were saying, you had to dig a little to get to the real reason he died. However, once you do it's pretty clear and I imagine by now you've looked into it yourself. No doubt he had struggled with depression all his life, but I don't believe it killed him and neither does his family.
