(17,600 posts)1. I guess it depends how you define success.
He was so "successful" that he was depressed to the point that he decided to end his own life.
I would define success differently.
JMHO and not to denigrate or blame Robin Williams at all, just that I think we should be careful how we define "success".

It is too bad he had a chronic health condition that killed him. However, that in no way diminishes his success.
