[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sad. He had many, many demons. He is definitely one of those comedians who used their humor and entertainment to mask deep internal pain & suffering. [/quote]

Depression is not a demon.  It's an illness.[/quote]

Pp is talking about his drug and alcohol addictions.[/quote]

Addiction is also an illness.[/quote]

Typically because it is comorbid with a mood disorder or anxiety. People self-medicate and get addicted.

My friend who is in treatment for depression has decided to quit drinking. I thought her nightly glass of wine was ok, but she feels dependent on it so she's joining AA. It has really opened my eyes to how even a little alcohol can impact a life negatively.[/quote]

Addiction is an illness because it causes a degeneration in physical and cognitive functioning. Addicts are physically dependent on their addiction and become sick when they don't get it. They are cognitively impaired and lose a great deal of executive functioning.

People make a choice to take the drug or drink, but when they become addicted, they are suffering from a physical and psychological disorder. [/quote]
