Not a Hero Nor a Coward. But a Druggie

I understand why people are sad about Robin Williams. He was a great comedian and actor. My favorite Robin Williams movie  is "Good Morning Vietnam." I have fond memories of watching that movie in our living room with my Mom, Dad, and brothers when I was in high school.
The media is saying that Williams was depressed. Depression is a disease and he had no way out and that's why he killed himself. It's insulting to cancer and leukemia patients to suggest that depression is a disease. It's a mental condition. Williams depression was brought on by himself. Williams had been doing hardcore drugs for 40 years. He wanted to stop doing drugs and even went to a drug rehabilitation facility this year. But it was too late. He couldn't handle the withdrawals and killed himself.
Our media never wants to talk about drug abuse. We live in a society that says, "If it feels good do it." The media labeled Robin Williams as depressed. Wrong. He was a drug addict. He should have never done drugs in the first place.
