"permanent solution to temporary problems"

He said nothing deserving of a faceshooting, the point isn't "go kill yourselves, it's a solution to everything"

It was more to the effect of "if you kill yourself, there's absolutely no way to undo that; unlike depression, which has several treatments"

The "and remember" bit was disorienting for sure but it's a good message. Depression can pass, death can't.

Well crap, I totally read that the wrong way. I thought he was trying to say 'if you're that depressed just kill yourself' or something to that effect. ._.

Naw he's essentially saying that suicide over depression is like blowing your house up to kill a bug, essentially.

Also that's not even his own words; that's Williams playing a character dealing with suicide

Just happened to be in LA today and got to see his star. Truly an amazing man and quite inspirational as well.

By the way, apparently he died of asphyxiation, not suicide.

He hung himself and then he died of asphyxiation.

Yeah, I found this out shortly after I posted that, and the facepalm level was high.
