Look, when Kate Spade died, I was sad for her family, how could someone with so much (loving family, success in the Fashion industry) do such a thing. Oh mental illness. Damn, sucks. I mean seriously. It was Bourdain's suicide this morning that really made me mad.
Dude was a rock star of chef's as it were, a great host, wonderful travel shows... and he just, killed himself.
We've long suspected that there is a link between these shooting rampages in schools and other places, many many of them are on brain drugs (catch all for the myriad of drugs for depression, bi-polar and what not) and now another suicide in the news.
It's like every bad feeling has a drug ready to fix it! People don't deal with their problems they pill them away, and those pills break your brain.
This, is the epidemic that we need to focus on, not gun control, not diagnosing and codifying everything as a "You suffer from..."
No you suffer from "Not dealing with life". ARE there people with real mental disorders? Absolutely, and they need treatment and help. Giving people a pill and saying "Go be drugged and happy" is killing us.
