I was wondering if drug use causes this googled and landed on this,

Tardive Dyskinesia & Parkinson's Disease

"In the past, Parkinson's disease was most often attributed to genetic causes, but researchers are discovering and still debating that the causes could be mulitfactorial, including both genetic and environmental triggers. Toxicity from aluminum (an example of an environmental trigger), dopamine-inhibiting drugs and head injuries have been implicated as well."

Who knows, pharma sponsored "ask your doctor" T.V ads every 5 minutes mainstream media have already made Robin another poster boy for "raising awareness" and selling psychiatric drug treatments. Nothing new here.

When I read that article, this was the absolute first thing that came into my mind. They do so love to feed antipsychotics to people with bipolar disorder even when it's not necessary most of the time. Maybe they convinced Williams to use them, and in an actor "tardive" anything would be a career ender. He probably wouldn't have made the connection.

2 cent thought here -

If I added up the total movie, tv, special time, the reality would be I've seen Robbin Williams maybe all of 24 hours total (watching 6 or so 1.5-2hrs movies is still just 12hrs max, repeats don't count), if even that much.

Of course he is a human being first and foremost. It's not all surprising that as a human he feels all the same things the rest of us humans do. The tiny handful of filmed and edited hours we've all seen, don't represent his full life in any way.

I liked robin williams I hate psychiatry, psychiatry makes me look at a depressed woman and dispise her for taking her sad face to the pscyhaitrist wanting a fix intead of learning what it means...I lose a lot of freind because of pscyhaitry, never meet any decent peoople they all sucked into their metnal illenss's and its the excuse for everything...

thing I heared is he had earlystage parkinosns or did psychaitary destroy him

I got in a position ready to kill myself in the first yeara of respiridone I was thinking about my case manager etc found out they make me feel suicidal with their power and authority over me, lately I haven't had much of a problem, my new girlfreind on the astral keeps me going and not think suicidally.

I think a lot of famous peole are on something, like some stars are crazy as and thats why they arae successful, or something crazy taht gives them an edge...I guess a lot of famous artists have been considered a bit whacko...its cultural norm os why is it pathologised by the quacks who think everything is a delusion once you are labeled, and they don't listen bitches.

fellt like an attempt at a rant, I was more intelligent on lower dose, no I am just more boring, except for stuff about my girlfriend, pity about the rapists she onlyh wants me, I thinks its because I spread the word about htis girlfreind and talking agbout astral sex and then people wanna try her too, or its all in my head....should be saving that for my thread on her.

I read a post on facebook that said he only just went through rehab and got prescribbed a heap of drugs that were untested, I wanna see the details of what really hapened to him and don't trust the media
