Buzz Aldrin, Woody Allen, Hans Christian Anderson, Drew Carey, Jim Carrey, Winston Churchill, T.S. Elliot, Marcus Epstein, Harrison Ford, Stephen Fry, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Oppenheimer, Mozart, Isacc Newton, Friedrich Nietzsche, JK Rowling, even darling of the Climate Changists Jim Salinger, Mark Twain and so on and on and on.I don't want to make light of his illness. I've had a close family member suffer depression so severe they were on medication. I know how debilitating it can be, and if Cameron Slater has a problem then he should receive all the help he needs.
But being depressed doesn't give Slater a get out of jail free card for saying so many unpleasant things. And he's still mouthing off on his blog at anyone who dares to criticise him. He fails to see the irony in using the word c**t to describe someone, and then feeling aggrieved because someone has written something mean about him.
For the sake of balance, here are some other famous depressives (just google "famous people with depression" and you'll find plenty of lists):
Richard Nixon, Phil Spector, Lerena Bobbitt, Mark Chapman (the murderer of Lennon), Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech mass killer), John Hinckley, Jr. (would-be assassin of Reagan), and so on and on and on.
