You don't know he's not depressed. Remember Robin.
I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?
Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's not too long before committing suicide. There's really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.
Looked up LBD to see what it's about and...damn... https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lewy-body-dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352025
Oof
So he already had depression, and then got a disease that causes depression.
