Mental health should be taken seriously

Death by suicide among celebrities is not something new. Previously, fans were shocked by the death of Academy Award winner Robin Williams and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell who was also a good friend of Chester Bennington.

Chester's death brought back suicide and mental health discussions under the spotlight, with netizens urging the public to take mental health seriously especially around family members and close friends to curb any risk of suicide.

Depression is hard to understand. But if it can kill Robin Williams, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington I'd say it's pretty damn real.
