Local L.A. news stations are saying he said he was depressed. The link has hardly any information about her son, and talks instead about Marie Osmond and some of her issues. She had eight children.

And unlike other diseases, it's all mental. When you take your medication, you're consciously taking a pill to correct yourself -- mentally. Anyway, I digress -- I feel bad for the people who are suffering from depression -- and thir family members and friends who are hurt by it.
