You have to feel for anyone who is in that much mental pain - Ironically he did a film called 'What Dreams may come' in which he dies in a car accident but his wife commits suicide afterwards be unable to cope with the loss and ends up in purgatory. It does have a happy ending unlike his real life - Poor soul

that's really sad. i read your post fuzzywuzzy and then spent half the night reading about robin williams and his life-long issues with mental health and addiction. i could always identify with him - he seemed like a really wired version of me - so very very sad.

Going completely off track here so apologies..... but, no.....both (1) drug induced Parkinson's and
(2) tardive can result from bipolar (and other) meds, one being frozen and rigid.....the other involving excessive movement

drug induced parkonsinisms isnt parkonsins disease though, it only takes its name from it because it presents similary initaly but.never progresses or causes death, its not linked.in any medical way. Rw widow has said he was diagnosed w parkinsons disease which is degenerative and she has said that it was in the early stages. She also said he was sober at the time of his death but struggling w depression. uote author=" fuzzywuzzy" source="/post/82970/thread" timestamp="1408121678"]Going completely off track here so apologies..... but, no.....both (1) drug induced Parkinson's and
