Though this is shit, I think it's pretty rad that he was at the very least trying to get help. The fact that his mind still fucking got him highlights how utterly fucking hopeless life can feel when you're severely depressed.
I think people's brain chemistry works for and against them. "Geniuses" (however you qualify that) are likely MORE prone to the lowest of lows because of the heights of their highs. Kind of like a car driving on the highway, cruising along at a high speed and then immediately slowing to the speed limit without warning. Everything feels foreign and kind of pales in comparison. Poor analogy, but...yeah.
I've heard that people with heart conditions are more likely to feel severely depressed and that depression is also potentially a precursor to a heart condition. Robin had open heart surgery some time ago, so...who knows.
