(中央社洛杉磯14日綜合外電報導)美國喜劇泰斗羅賓威廉斯遺孀今天說,先生深受憂鬱症所苦,也出現巴金森氏症早期症狀,但還沒準備好向外界公開自己的病症。
帶給無數人歡笑的羅賓威廉斯(Robin Williams)11日以皮帶在加州自宅上吊,享壽63歲。許多人猜測,壓垮羅賓威廉斯的是長年的酗酒和藥物成癮問題。
不過,施奈德(Susan Schneider)發表聲明說,羅賓威廉斯最近的問題在於精神狀態和神經退化性疾病巴金森氏症。
施奈德說:「我們希望羅賓威廉斯辭世後,其他受各種病魔所苦的人,能夠有勇氣尋求照護和支援,治療疾病,也不再那麼害怕。」
她說:「羅賓威廉斯花了許多時間幫助他人。不管是在舞台、電影或電視,為前線戰士勞軍或安撫病童,羅賓都希望我們歡笑和不再那麼恐懼。」
施奈德說:「自從他過世以來,數百萬曾受羅賓撫慰的人流露出對他的喜愛與欽佩,讓深愛羅賓的我們所有人感到些許慰藉。」
她說:「他遺留下來的,除了3個孩子之外,就是他帶給其他人的歡樂和快樂,特別是為個人問題奮戰的那群人。」
美國國家巴金森病基金會(National ParkinsonFoundation)在施奈德發表聲明後指出:「檢查出任何重大疾病都可能讓人難以承受,而巴金森氏症和憂鬱症兩者密切相關。」
基金會說:「巴金森氏症會造成行動困難,而憂鬱症對生活品質的影響更甚。」基金會也說,超過一半的巴金森患者也歷經臨床憂鬱症。
紐約羅徹斯特大學(University of Rochester)神經病學教授理查(Irene Richard)進一步解釋說,巴金森氏症影響的神經傳導物質,和掌管情緒的邊緣系統有緊密連結。(譯者:中央社張詠晴)1030815

Instead of just focusing on Robin Williams' tragic death, E! Online would like to highlight some of the great moments of his extraordinary life. Like, for example, when he won the 1998 Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his performance in Good Will Hunting. Williams seemed genuinely surprised when Mira Sorvino called his name, and while making his way to the stage, shared a quick moment with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who wrote and co-starred in Good Will Hunting. Williams, visibly emotional, told the audience "This may be the one time that I'm speechless. Thank you so much for this incredible honor."
