Comedian, Richard Jeni shot and killed himself back in March. It’s still a shock and sad news. Today the Coroners report came out and among other things, it revealed that Jeni was suffering from a mental illness and in fact had been admitted to a mental institution on December 28th when he showed up in the ER of a hospital threatening to jump off a building.
Other than that one instance he had never displayed signs of depression or suicide. It was that one instance when doctors diagnosed Jeni with “severe clinical depression coupled with bouts of psychotic paranoia.”
Life is big. Sometimes it can be very hard. If you are hurting, please talk to someone. Let people know how you are feeling. People do care and others can help you carry the burden.
