What happened to Robin Williams? Was he a victim of early childhood trauma and abusive parenting?

I am looking for biographies or testimonies about Robin's early life to explain why he hated him self so much and killed him self like that. It's sad how early childhood trauma effects so many people right to the bitter end.

    Not everyone with major depression and/or addiction have childhood trauma/abuse.

    Not everyone who has suffered childhood trauma/abuse suffers from major depression and/or addiction.

    I'm not sure it is.our place to know where his sadness or demons came from. Just that they were.unbearable to the point where he felt he had to end his life.

    Many jokers and clowns suffer inside. some of the funniest people in my life have suffered.greatly inside. it's maybe a coping thing.
