So many questions out there with why, with so much talent and so many people who have idealized the man that he would take his own life at 63 years old. Comedians are mourning one of their own. And that includes our next two guests. Actor andy kick was friends with Robin Williams and legendary talk show hosts kick cave s dic of the first to showcase williams talents. There he is. Whats your reaction to what the police are saying. So hard when people look at this man and people today are describing him to us as sometimes shy and not always comfortable with the adulation that younger actors may have felt around him, but he had become such a lion in the industry, and to hear this happening at age 63, what goes through your head . Yeah. Everything. I mean, the man, first of all, 63 is so young, to me. I mean, kidick cavetts still going strong. I saw dick cavett on broadway, i dont know if you remember. What was that. Yeah. The vampire transvestite. Rocker horror picture show. Rocky horror show. There you go. Now you have two dicks on your show. No waiting. No waiting. Seats available. Robin was the first time i met him, i was doing a show in San Francisco, and they came back to my dressing room and they said Robin Williams is outside in line to buy a ticket for your show. I said, first of all, hang on, man, are you sure its Robin Williams . And they said yes. Secondly, just bring him in. Dont make him wait in line to get a ticket. I did my show. My show is very much like his but a poor mans version of what he does becausy kind of stream of consciousness. I looked up to that man. Always have. When i was 12 years old, i would listen to, reality, what a concept. His first album. Over and over and over with my friends on vinyl. And here he is at my show. I went up to him after the show, which is always a little bit like this, just crazy. I said why did you come to see my show . And he said, i had to. And i think that spoke volumes to me. I knew exactly what he meant, and because i talk a lot about i wear my heart on my sleeve and i talk a lot about addictions. I know towards the end he talked about his. Then we came friends. It was almost like secret friends. He actually took care of me a few times when i was not at my best, and he continued to come and support me when i would do my shows. And would help you out, which is incredible how he would do that and connect with people who also suffered from some of the same demons he did. Mr. Cavett, i want to play a clip from when Robin Williams was on your show back in 1979. Here it is. Look, toys all over the set. Dont be afraid, mr. Cameraman, were going crazy. Whoa. Mother gave this so i could write my new book. An ode to fred silverman. Lets talk. Props, lets go. Oh, look im not going to touch that one. I see you laughing there, but looking a bit bemused as well. I mean, did you ever imagine that would be how it would end . It seems a little odd to say that im not totally surprised. Robin probably had one of the most difficult talents to be to have living inside you because of its incredible explosiveness and the volatility of it and his almost world class energy. Sitting beside him on two legendary halfhour shows that i did with him on pbs years ago, it was like sitting in the barge with the macys fireworks display. You felt this energy exploding all over the place. The one thing i was sorry with the two shows though they were hilarious right from the top. I would have loved to get robin to talk so people could see not only what a great clown he was, but what a personable, superintelligent man he was. But i could never shake him out of the comic mask. Thats amazing. He had to put that on. You know, you said youve been open about having to deal with depression yourself. And that a number of comedians have come forward and talked about how this has been a struggle for them, jim carrey, Rosie Odonnell are on that lest. Why do you think it is that comedians struggle with depression . Is it because, you said that you always have to feel that you have to be funny and you have to be smiling even when inside you feel anything but . Depression is a chemical thing. Thats not news to anybody. But it does seem to me that it does strike an inordinate number of people in the business. I can give you a list of whos who names, many not known to be sufferers and many who are, and suicides in the business. And i dont know. If somebody would do a Great Research project on it theres some chemical ling between the talented brain and some other aspect of that brain that is susceptible to depression, it would be very interesting. As andy knows, people go to booze, to drugs for alleviation. Alcohol is the wrong way to go because although you will feel a little better for a few moments, alcohol, as we know in school, is a depressing of the Central Nervous system and makes you worse. Theres really no way out except a good treatment. It bothers me to keep hearing the words he sought help. Did he get it . Well, thats a big question. Andy, you struggle with alcoholism. I know even back even 25 years ago, Robin Williams had struggled with some of these issues for a long time. He had sought help. Hurt his personal relationships, hurt his marriages. What would he say to you that explained how much he was struggling with it and how much he wanted you not to go through what he was going through. I continue to struggle with alcoholism. I went through rehab 17 times. I used to be mad when we see guys that i knew that also struggled died and i would actually refuse to do this kind of thing. Now i see it helps. You know what he would do, to be just very simple about it . He would laugh. You know, i can still hear him laughing with me just sitting one on one or sometimes the only one when im on stage, hed be the only one laughing. So the gift of laughter was not only he gave it by laughing. He was always laughing. Much andy. Oh, excuse me. No, go ahead. Once robin came off from a club where he had just killed them in new york. We went back in the dressing room and they were still cheering. And he said, isnt it ironic that i can bring all that happiness to those people but not so often to myself. Oh, i know, i know. Thats kind of touching. People will be saying how could he do it . How could they do that to his wife and children . Listen, when youre in deep depression, its the easiest world to do anything to anybody. You dont care. You cant make intelligent decisions. Your judgment is gone. Your brain foal feels broken. And you cant be blamed for what you do. Thank you both so much. And people will say what have you got to be depressed about . Youre rich, famous, wealthy. Thats like saying what do you got have flu about . Its an illness, anybody can get it. Can i say one more thing . Yes, of course. I just wanted to let people know that if you have somebody that you love and you appreciate, just tell them because i feel i almost feel guilty that i didnt call more often and just tell anybody you love. Get treatment as fast as you can. Thanks to both of you. Just that you all knew him but also when you think he got to 63 and had been fighting and fighting and then succumbed. Did robins heart surgery have anything to do with his depression. Doctors out there say yes. The u. S. Announcing Additional Mission personnel to iraq. Is this Mission Creep .

Police revealing today that williams hanged himself with a belt inside his california home. There were cuts around the actors left wrist. It was no secret that williams battled depression for a long time, but what ultimately was the thing that made him kill himself on this day . Deborah feyerick is out front with williams own words on his personal struggles. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Robin Williams reporter perhaps it was no coincidence that Robin Williams hbo tour was called weapons of selfdestruction. Tahdah. You are an alcoholic. And some people say robin im a functioning alcoholic. You can be one like being a paraplegic lap dancer. You can do it. Just not as well as the others really. Reporter and perhaps it was no coincidence either that williams did that tour in 2009, a year after a major operation. Please, ive had heart surgery. Thank you. Reporter surgery that he says triggered mood swings. After the surgery, you get very emotional. Its like were, people go how are you . Reporter for williams it was all fair game. When i was growing up, they used to say, robin, drugs can kill you. Now that im 58, my doctor is going, robin, you need drugs to live. Reporter selfdeprecating humor in which he shares his struggles with alcohol and drugs. I had a little problem with alcohol. I wasnt a problem. Everybody had it. You were a drunk. Do you thing youk youve beate . No, larry, its always there. Yeah, i kicked it. No, im fine. No, the idea is that you always have a little bit of fear like you have to just keep at it. Its a day by day. Reporter in 1992 as a young comedian he partied with pal john belushi hours before the blues brother star overdosed on heroin and cocaine. Cocaine, what a beautiful drug. Anything that makes you paranoid and impotent, give me more of that. Reporter he soon quit cold turkey and remained sober nearly two decades until 2003 then relapsed and rehab. Here in 2006 for comic relief. Always good for me to come to vegas after rehab. I love that. Its a good time for you. A good time for me. Like going to colombia. Where are you going for detox . Colombia. Just going to take it easy in this 24hour alcohol town. Reporter in 2008 when his second marriage ended as a result of alcoholalcoholism, he he again went to rehab. I was violating my standards quicker than i could lower them. Reporter with that came unbearable pressure. He suffered manic depression. No, im not always fun to be around. And that there is this thing of, yeah, the world sees one thing. What am i like at home . Different because i cant always be on. Reporter surrounded by millions who adored him, loved him. Yet in the end could not save him. Good night reporter deborah feyerick, cnn, new york. Out front tonight a psychiatrist who met Robin Williams and a neuropsychiatrist. You know, from what we know and what you just heard Robin Williams saying there, obviously his demons and his addictions destroyed at least two marriages, but he had a supportive family. His daughter adored him. Friends adored him. But the depression took over. What could have happened to trigger this now . After fighting it for decades and decades. Hes 63 years old. What would have made it happen now . Well, i think theres actually stacked stresses. So a number of them. What we know is cocaine abuse, alcohol abuse, all damage the brain. The heart surgery that he has, theres evidence that that can damage the brain. Aging. And then if you take his show being canceled. You see the stacked stresses that weigh on him so get him to a point where he feels great pain is hopeless and then he kills himself. Doctor, you mentioned the open heart surgery that he had in 2009, that he just referred to in debs piece. He talked about that surgery and how it affected his mind and emotional state. I wanted to play that for you. With guys we armor up like im a dude, im a dude. You have a heart surgery and literally they open you up. They crack the box. And you get really vulnerable. You get i cant oh, and you get very emotional about everything. You can talk about something to serious and yet its funny when he says it. Is there a link between open heart surgery and Mental Health issues . Absolutely. You look at the Mental Health pieces of yourself. You are not just getting your body back in shape, youre getting your mind back in shape. Im not infallible. I could die. It really wakes you up. Its very scary. Men dont typically emote like that. They want to be tough. With all that, you hide a lot. The cleveland clinic, thats where williams underwent his surgery, one of the top places in the world. They say open heart surgery patients who have Life Transitions going on are especially susceptible to depression. In williams case is this even more apropos, the fact that he was divorced twice, struggling with addiction, that would make the heart surgery even more risky . No question about it. All of them matters. When we evaluate people, we look at biological, psychology, social and spiritual influences. If you have trouble in any of those circles, it makes you more vulnerable to depression and all of the consequences of it. At the clinic we do imaging. We can see the damage or the evidence of those stresses, and most people dont know that, i mean, depression really is a brain disorder and Brain Rehabilitation can be so helpful, diet, exercise, simple supplements, medication, a newer treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation. Theres so much hope to rebuild and repair the brain, but a lot of people, when they get depressed, they get to such a dark place that they lose hope. And they actually lose things, as dick cavett was talking about, empathy, so they dont really understand what this is going to do to the people they love. What about this issue that weve heard and i think our viewers have seen just watching these clips from Robin Williams over the past 24 hours. He was always so funny. Even when somebody asked him something serious, he would answer in his mode, right . He would have the comedian side turn on. And the study from the british jourm of psychiatry says comedians are more inclined to have i want to quote it high levels of psychotic personality traits. Is there a link between great comedians and depression . Is it as simple you think you have to be funny all the time but youre still a human underneath it. Is it that simple . No, i think there is a link. But it is as simple as saying that humor is used as a defense mechanism for people who are uncomfortable about where they are emotionally and they dont feel safe enough to do it in a vulnerable way, they do it in a funny way. Because that ends up becoming like their thing, they end up making money from it, theyre good at it. It becomes a way of life and a selfsoothing tool. Yes, its good to have humor as a mechanism of defense, however, you cant use it at your own detriment. Thanks very much to both of you. For more resources on coping with depression, go to cnn.

Breaking news. Were just getting word that more u. S. Military personnel are headed to iraq tonight. Approximately 130 new military advisers are going to northern iraq. That will bring the total number of American Military personnel on the ground to more than 900. The advisers are headed to the area where tens of thousands from the Minority Group called the yazidis are stranded as they flee persecution by isis. Near mt. Sinjar, thats where the yazidis are right now desperately trying to get assistance on the top of this mountain. Theyre firing at them trying to come off of that mountain. Just one day after we brought you the dramatic rescue and supply mission on the mountain our ivan watson with a brave, incredible reporting, helicopter used to bring aid crashed today. Now, the pilot, an iraqi general died, everyone else did survive. Ivan watson was on that helicopter flight yesterday. And he joins us now from iraq. The yazidia who made it off the mountain like ones you met yesterday who were rushing you trying to get help and assist eps, where are they going . Reporter well, i would say the majority of them, erin, are sleeping out in the open basically camping out on roadsides on the medians of highways and in the shells of unfinished and abandoned buildings. We watched thousands of them crossing, you know, some of them, handful got out on those helicopters that were flying off the mountain, an overloaded helicopter of which crashed that had many of these refugees on it, but far more were coming out on foot and coming across a bridge into Iraqi Kurdistan. Some of those people are just literally camping out on the banks of the river at the border where they walked in. These people exhausted. Tired, hungry. One of them described how on a marathon march through the desert he had to bury two of his infant brothers who expired as a result of exposure to the elements. I mean, this is just so its impossible to imagine when you hear these things that theyre happening in this year 2014, ivan. But the war thatord thats been out there is genocide and thats thats a risk. And thats the only thing that could cause more u. S. Involvement. It is a word thats appropriate to use . Reporter its certainly a word that the leadership of Iraqi Kurdistan is using a lot, that the members of the different ethnic and religious groups that are being pushed out en masse from their homes, that theyre using as well. From my vantage. I havent seen bodies, i havent seen mass murders, but ive certainly seen what looks like a systematic policy of ethnic and sectarian cleansing where people are pushed en masse from their communities largely based on their religious or ethnic identity. And these vast numbers of people from a wide variety of different groups, kurds, christians and turkimen and yazidis. Theres one thing in common, theyre fleeing one group thats armed called isis and they all seem to be getting shelter here in Iraqi Kurdistan even as its troops seem to be involved in an existential battle against the immigrants. Incredible and great reporting from iraq. Joining me is former Deputy National security adviser for combating terrorism. Now that we hear well have another 130 u. S. Personal headed to iraq. Weve now got more than 900 americans on the ground. Is this enough to make the difference . Or when you hear what ivans talking about, about a policy of ethnic cleansing, a drop in the bucket and do we need to be more honest, if the United States is going to do something about it, its going to require a lot more people and combat . I think it depends on what our objective is. If its to stave off the offensive against our kurdish allies in peshmergar nen the additional advisers could be helpful. It wont be enough to dislodge isis and certainly wont be enough to defeat them and dislodge them from the safe haven theyve created in both iraq and syria. I agree with the latter part of your question which is we have to take a step back and ask ourselves what are we trying to achieve here . And if were trying to dislodge and defeat isis, it will take more than 130 additional advisers and more than just air strikes. That leads to the question of boots on the ground and what isis is fighting with. The chief of staff told cnn, isis has all sorts of sophisticated weapons. Weve heard reports that isis is fighting with a lot of americansourced weapons that theyve gotten from somewhere or from syria, versus the kurds who dont have the same quality of weapon. I mean, how sophisticated is their weaponry and how well armed are they with american weapons . Isis i think has been underestimated. Theyre well resourced, theyve obviously held territory. Theyve taken major cities like mosul and tikrit. Theyve overrun Iraqi Security installations, picked up weaponry, the humvees and the tanks that we left behind for the iraqis. Theyll well resourced. They run a war economy. Theyve inspired not just donations but foreign fighters to fight for their cause. This is a realequipped, they ha mission and they need to be pushed back. Im not sure it requires american boots on the ground but it requires our kurdish allies who are willing to fight and are currently fighting this group. When you talk about the need for the United States to take a step back and an honest evaluation of what this might entail, it made me think about the president back in january talked to the new yorker about isis. The analogy we used around here sometimes and i think its accurate is if a jv team puts on lakers uniforms that doesnt make them kobe bryant. Heres how the pentagon described isis just yesterday. Theyre very well organized. Theyre very well equipped. They coordinate their operations. And they have thus far shown the ability to attack on multiple axis, this is not insignificant. They didnt just get all that ability in a few months. Why did the u. S. Government underestimate them . I think part of it is we dont have a footprint on the ground the way we once did in iraq. We dont have the intelligence inf infrastructure, the military footprint in iraq. Weve been absent largely from syria. Isis has really gained strength and territory. And so this is a group that is serious. Theyre piggybacking off of the al qaeda narrative and inspiration and even infrastructure. And the reality is as you listen to american officials, theres real concern that this is now becoming a platform for potential attacks against the west. So this is not just a group threatening the yazidis on the mountain or even the kurds, this is a group thats becoming an inspiration to the Global Jihadi Movement and thats really what has american officials worried. Still to come, police brace for violence in missouri after an unarmed black teen is shot by police. Is this Trayvon Martin all over again . President obama has weighed in.

Tonight, president obama has weighed in calling the death of 18yearold Michael Brown heartbreaking. Anger over browns death has exploded into chaos and violence. President obama addressed that in his statement saying in part, quote, i urge everyone in ferguson, missouri, and across this country to remember this young man through reflection and understanding. We should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. Tonight police are bracing for more violence for a second night in a row. Shots already have been fired. Police using tear gas to disperse the crowds. Now the president has weighed in, is this Trayvon Martin again . David mattingly is out front from police headquarters. Now the president has weighed in on this, its very significant. Another case of white on black violence that he did not weigh in on, he has in this like he did only in one other case, Trayvon Martin. What is this doing to the tension in the community where you are . The president s comments today are reminiscent of the personal reaction he had to the trafben martin case. At that time, the president s comments did have an effect on the demonstrators in sanford, florida. They really took it to heart. Its a little too early to see what effect it might have here in ferguson, missouri, but as you can see the demonstrators are not going away. These people have been outside city hall almost all day today demonstrating. Its just another example of how this case is very similar to the experience we had with Trayvon Martin. The tragic killing of Michael Brown prompts almost immediate comparisons to the death of another unarmed black teenager. The case of Trayvon Martin might differ in detail but its influence on the brown investigation is evident. Within 48 hours of browns death, National Leaders of the naacp were already in ferguson, missouri, framing the killing as the latest in an Ongoing National problem. I believe that Trayvon Martin case is a prologue to a sad National Narrative where we have young people who are accused of underwhelmingly minor offenses that are often met with a major overwhelming sometimes lethal use of force. Reporter the u. S. Justice department became involved just as quickly. Attorney general eric holder calling in the fbi and u. S. Attorneys, but saying that local investigators should be prepared to complete a thorough, fair investigation in their own right. In the Trayvon Martin case, the Justice Department didnt get involved until after Public Confidence in the Police Investigation was lost. A possible mistake not repeated in missouri. Cnn contributor mark omeara represented Trayvon Martins killer George Zimmerman. Without question we have been sensitized because of the George Zimmerman Trayvon Martin matter that it is going to be under a microscope. And quite honestly, in our criminal justice system, it should be. We should be looking at these cases very, very carefully. Reporter Attorney Benjamin Crump represented the family of Trayvon Martin and now speaks for Michael Browns parents. Crump points to one key difference Trayvon Martin was killed by a resident on neighborhood watch. Browns death is at the hands of law enforcement. Trayvon was shot once, but as we understand from these witnesses, this child was shot multiple times, and left on the ground like a dog. Reporter that harsh image now drives angry demands for justice reminiscent of the aftermath in the death of Trayvon Martin. And police in ferguson prepared again tonight, but not knowing what to expect. The same posture they were in last night when they had that confrontation. The faa also weighing in today issuing a nofly zone over ferguson, missouri, for at least the next week saying its for safety reasons for the Police Investigation. Erin . A dramatic move. Thank you very much, david mattingly. Out front next Robin Williams changed one school forever. It just happened to be mine. And Robin Williams and one special gorilla.

Since Robin Williams death was announced last night fans around the world have been sharing their memories of him. One of our favorite times was when the comedian met a gorilla named coco. Heres jeanne moos. Reporter sure, Robin Williams made us smile. But what made him smile . Tickling an ape . I tickle her and shes reporter it was an encounter he called mind altering, Holding Hands with a gorilla named coco famous for understanding sign language taught by her surrogate mom dr. Penny patterson. Profiled by gee grof geographic and in 2001, Robin Williams asked to pay a visit. She took his glasses and ended up wearing them.
