Depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia. Mental illness isn't a joke. Millions of people live with it and Robin Williams was one of them. The majority of media reports on Amanda Bynes have been demeaning and dehumanizing and we have the power to say this is wrong.
This video is part of an art project on suicide and mental illness. There will be 9 other videos so subscribe to see them once they are finished.
This video is based off of an article titled "Amanda Bynes, Robin Williams, and the Spectacle of Mental Illness" written by Sam Dylan Finch on October 16th, 2014

Very good work. I think Amanda Bynes is still suffering today from a mental illness... she doesn't look or sound the same as she once did. She was on top of the world in 2007 and something triggered her mentally. I wish there was something I could do to help her. People judge a book by his or her cover... but they do not know what the inside of the book is all about.
Good work on this was quite funny
Robin Williams must have had it pretty tough particularly because he was Comedian. They don't need a disorder to get laughed at - even when they're being serious people expect it to be a joke.. could be a topic for another infomercial! Don't know who Amanda Bynes is, but I probably won't be able to resist the Google after this.
I was expecting some kind of comedy here, but this was a pretty serious topic, well-voiced and informative. It doesn't just take up the problem, but offers a glimpse at a solution, even if universal understanding is far from an easily introduced practice. Hard to imagine anything before you've experienced it yourself. Anyway, nice initiative! Hope this opens some minds!

very thought provoking
