Robin Williams' dementia diagnosis: When the actor's wife, Susan Williams, revealed his battle, "It was not depression that killed.."
In 2014, Robin Williams , the 'Dead Poets Society' actor, took his own life, leaving millions of fans grieving with the sudden, unfortunate incident. The audience perceived his reason to be depression; however, the study revealed that the real cause was a debilitating brain disease called Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). Robin Williams and his disease 'It was not depression that killed Robin,' the actor's wife, Susan Williams, said in a 2015 interview with People, before adding, 'Depression was one of let's call it 50 symptoms, and it was a small one.' Talking about the symptoms, she said that they present themselves like a 'Whack-a-ball' machine that one wouldn't know what they were looking at. About Dementia with Lewy Bodies DLB, the frequently misdiagnosed disease, is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia after Alzheimer's, causing fluctuations in mental status, hallucinations, and impairment of motor function. A year prior to Williams' death, the disease started taking a toll on him, which included heightened levels of anxiety, delusions, and impaired movement. The symptoms worsened, with him experiencing crippling anxiety attacks that were miscalculated, leaving his head bloodied and muscles rigid. The doctors couldn't figure out what had been wrong with the actor's condition until the autopsy. Moreover, Susan Schneider Williams revealed that the actor had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a few months before he passed away – which really was just the tip of the iceberg. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like M3M Great Freedom Sale – Mega Sales for Luxury Homes M3M India Book Now Undo Revealing that the actor has undergone multiple tests to identify the problem that resulted in negative, Williams said, 'None of the doctors knew that there was this ghost disease underlying all of this,' according to CNN.

Delhi CM Gupta inaugurates multispeciality hospital in Kailash Colony
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday inaugurated the SSB Multispeciality Hospital in Kailash Colony, which promises to offer round-the-clock medical services at reasonable rates, officials said. The hospital features advanced services such as robotic knee replacement facility and has dedicated departments for gastroenterology, respiratory care, nephrology, and neuro and spine surgery, they said. Hospital chairperson Shyam Sundar Bansal said it will soon apply for empanelment under the Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme of the Centre. Speaking at the event, Gupta said according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, India has less than one hospital bed available per 1,000 people, stressing that such challenges can be addressed if the government and the private sector work in tandem in a focused manner. Delhi government aims to develop the national capital into a global medical hub, drawing patients from across the country and abroad, she said. The chief minister mentioned the recent installation of an advanced machine at the GB Pant Hospital that can generate a complete DNA profile from just a single drop of blood as a step in this direction. She also claimed that many hospitals constructed during the tenure of the previous (AAP) government were left incomplete or lacked sufficient resources. "We are now bringing all such hospitals under the public-private partnership (PPP) model to ensure their full-scale functioning," Gupta said. BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj and local MLA Shikha Rai were present at the inauguration ceremony.

As the smoke from the fire, which started in the pharmaceutical section of the factory, spread, residents of the adjacent Ballygunge Place East locality were among the first to spot it. The Gupta family at 23, Ballygunge Place East had just finished their lunch when they heard a commotion outside. "We heard people shouting on the street, and I stepped out onto the balcony to see what was happening. A huge plume of dark smoke hit me in the face," said Raju Gupta.
