Depression and bipolar are real things, and an illness the same as any other. Seeing people you are close to being slowly consumed by them is devastating, and being almost powerless to help, even more so. Do not trivialise mental illness, or the small role that ambassadors can play in making a smidge of difference. I don't know why it happens, or how it happens, and I hope it doesn't happen to you or anyone you know TC, but good people like Starlo are trying to make it slightly more visible and understood, and use their higher profile roles in society for the greater good.
