Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative and beloved entertainer. He often came across as a man possessed, holding forth on culture and politics while mixing in personal revelations – all with impulsive, tongue-twisting intensity as he inhabited and shed one character after another with lightning speed. In Good Will Hunting he gave an intense and controlled performance that revealed the true range of his talent. David Itzkoff shows how Williams struggled mightily with addiction and depression with a debilitating condition at the end of his life that affected him in ways his fans never knew.

BENZO FREE LINKSWebsitePodcast Home PageFeedback FormDisclaimer Podcast Summary This podcast is dedicated to those who struggle with side effects, dependence, and withdrawal from benzos, a group of drugs from the benzodiazepine and nonbenzodiazepine classes, better known as anti-anxiety drugs, sleeping pills, sedatives, and minor tranquilizers. Their common brand names include Ambien, Ativan, Klonopin, Lunesta, Valium, and Xanax. Introduction In today's intro, we tackle the subject of suicide. I share a story about a book I've been listening to, Robin by David Itzkoff, and about how hearing about his tragic death triggered my emotions this past weekend. I then compared his story with mine and others and reminded people that benzo withdrawal is not a terminal diagnosis, not by a long shot. This illness is temporary, and if you are having suicidal thoughts, to seek help and get support. Benzo Stories Today's benzo story was from Lynn in the United Kingdom. Featured Topic Today's featured topic: Quick Questions About Anxiety, Insomnia, Benzos, and Withdrawal
