Mental health is something that is beyond comprehension. The issue is fragile and complicated, and hence, it’s hard to identify something serious in people we talk to on a daily basis.
Robin Williams, as an example, was a funny, successful and wise man, although he suffered from Lewy body dementia and further, severe depression. The actor also went through rehabilitation to deal with alcohol and drug use. On August 11, 2014, Williams tragically died by suicide.
It was too late
Howard Stern has something to regret till the end of his lifetime. A long time ago, the controversial radio host had an interview with the late actor Robin Williams — and it didn’t go smoothly whatsoever.
In the upcoming book Howard Stern Comes Again, the host opens up about his biggest regret.
Possibly my biggest regret was my interview with Robin Williams. I was attacking the guy, and he was justifiably furious with me.
