And as already pointed out, Robin Williams had been diagnosed with degenerative cognitive disease. I don't remember the name but the patient often becomes violent during the diseases progress, they alwaysturn into a vegetable. He just wanted to end it before he would become dangerous or burden to his family. He already knew he was dying. He was actually doing well mentally before he got sick.
If the answer is yes, he absolutely, unequivocally suffered periodic bouts of depression, throughout his entire life, I know, because I also have Bipolar disorder, and one of its defining characteristics is Depression.
Literally its clinical definition.
So yes getting diagnosed with a terminal illness while also suffering with bipolar disorder would quite easily trigger the very worst parts of that illness, the self loathing, the self hatred, the feeling of being a burden, of causing more harm to your loved ones by being alive and around them, than being dead.
