Default Help is needed for people like Robin Williams with mental illness not criticism.

Mental health has long been shuttered to a back closet in this country...something to be whispered about but not discussed in the open. Time to provide the funds needed to properly care for those with mental illness rather than just letting them roam the streets.
Having having a spouse that died from Lewy body which can cause this condition, Have knowing about Robin Williams suicide which had very possibly contributed by Lewy Body. We need more Help for these poor people not a lecture on their behavior.
