Five years after the death of Robin Williams, the children of the beloved comedian have emerged as passionate advocates in support of those suffering from depression and mental health issues.
Zak Williams founded the mental health support company PYM Health, and last week, he spoke to 18percent.org, a website dedicated to mental health support, and revealed his own experience with crippling depression and how he was"traumatized" by his father's death.
"What I neglected to do after my dad’s passing was take care of myself. You can’t be there for others if you are not paying attention to your needs and struggles. Take the time to do what you need to do to get through the day first. Then you’ll have a fuller cup to be there for others. Also support groups were really helpful for me," he added.
His sister, Zelda Williams has frequently spoken out about her own struggles and worked with organizations to help raise awareness around mental health. "[I] found myself self-medicating and generally unhappy, so when it came to speaking about my and my family struggles personally, it just sort of clicked," he added."In terms of honoring [my father] personally I have an eleven week old son so at this point it mainly involves being a present father."
