Who Should Play Christian & Anastasia In 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'?
Adina Porter: The Newsroom, True Blood and Motherhood
Tyler Lambert, son of 'Diff'rent Strokes' star Dana Plato, committed suicide on May 6, almost exactly 11 years after his mother ended her life. Lambert was 25.
The Tulsa, Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner told PopEater that Lambert (pictured above in 1999) died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. Toxicology tests are pending. Though the office had no more information at this time, the National Enquirer alleges Lambert suffered depression surrounding the anniversary of his mother's death and descended into a drug binge prior to his suicide.

We should legalize everything and empty all the jails, but with the conditions they need to all move to Hollywood with the liberal Dogooders.
Old Native American saying: Judge no man until you have walked a mile in his moccasins (sp). Not all rx meds are bad. I take an antidepression med every day and I know that they help. But it's my understanding that they don't work for everyone. I wonder if a therapist could help when meds don't,though. Have to do some further reading on that.
"You Got That Right and Don't forget Cigarettes!!!
RIP........ what a tragedy........

You know all Dana Plato truly loved while her on earth was her son, had she have known back then he would have done to be with her..I truly believe she would have gotten help and made sure both her and her son were safe,,,,but you can't look into the future...sad thing..he really loved his mother and just didn't understand at such a young age why she was gone and why she couldn't get the help she needed...so now he's gone only to be with her...such a sad, damn story.....
Very sad

People are forced to use legal prescription pills which can cause suicide thoughts and it happens a lot. If weed were legal, some of these people could have survived their depression and weaned themselves off prescription pills. Weed works for a lot of people. These people deserve easier access.
Until you people have gone through chronic depression, and not just a tiny little bout because things arent going right in your life (Im not downplaying that though), you will NEVER understand the impact depression can have on someone. Ive been there for years. When you cant even get out of bed because the pain and sadness is too much to bear, or you beg god every night to not wake up in the morning, then maybe you will possibly understand what one goes through.

You are so right, it's easy for some ppl to say "get over it"...it's much harder then that.
Jaime, I'm sorry things are so tough. Hang tough, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I hope you have someone to talk to, who really cares. Peace
Jaime, thank you for saying it so well. It is NOT that easy to get help for depression. If you call a Psychiatrist, Social Services, etc., it can take WEEKS before you can get an appointment. I can't even talk to my family about my depression because they don't know "how to handle it." They only like to be around me when I'm happy and cheerful. I get lectures about being depressed. For those of you who do not suffer from this disease, you should thank God every night.
I agree Jaime. I suffer from chronic depression also. There is a big difference between chronic depression and seasonal or life isn't going right depression. To get out of bed is a huge task in itself. To ask for help from someone is impossible.
I understand. I have begged God for the exact same thing since I was a little girl. People think that depression is solely based on the problems in your life but it is not. Oh the ignorance. Words cannot describe the prison of depression.
You're right. Unless you've experienced chronic depression I don't think people can really understand how awful it can be. It has nothing to do with a situation that may 'make you sad'. It's a constant battle and can be very lonely. I feel so bad for Dana's son. Ending your life is never the answer.
I agree. Nobody can understand the depth of the pain and helplessness caused by depression. All the talk therapy and support lines only touch on the underlying issue. It's not as black and white as people think it is. Selfish isn't the term when the only thoughts a depressed person has is that it will make the world a better place without them. Thanks for speaking up. It's a tragedy. No doubt. I feel for his father.
You are right Jaime. I suffer from severe chronic depression also. Most people don't understand. I used to be successful in all aspects of my life but now am a shut in. Medications don't work for everybody. All you can do is your best. I wish that for you and all others who suffer from mental illness.
thank you jaime for putting it so politely!
You are so right Jaime. I have been depressed all my life, 14 years ago I contemplated suicide. But could not do that to my family so I got meds. In 1999 my father killed himself. My sis says he was in and out of mental hospials for years. She kept contact with an aunt after our father broke up contact. I cannot tell people about my father without crying.
God bless you and may you wake up every day not feeling bad.
YOUR RIGHT I CANT PUT MYSELF IN ANOTHERS SHOES, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND. PEOPLE SAY CHRONIC DEPRESSION IS USUALLY NOT ABOUT ONES SITUATION IN LIFE. I JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE PERSON, DEPRESSED ABOUT, IS IT LIFE IN GENERAL,A CHILDHOOD TRAUMA? I AM NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE , I JUST WANT TO KNOW MORE.
Hey Jaime, you're so right. My own brother, after his 20-year old daughter died four yrs ago, he has been taking strong medication for depression but to no avail. I do believe that the medical profession and medication are not the answer for this type of illness. My personal advise, as I have been through it, is to say a prayer when you get up in the morning asking GOD to help you for the rest of mthe day. IT WORKED FOR ME.
