A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's not too long before committing suicide. There's really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.

Oof

Depression. People with Lewy body dementia might develop depression.

So he already had depression, and then got a disease that causes depression.
