Robin had been in deep dark places before. Brought himself out of a cocaine addition and was constantly battling depression, which turned much worse and was ultimately what killed him. His death even prompted Wayne Brady to talk about his own depression.

I dare say most comedians battle their own depression, and picked that career choice because being happy and spreading that happiness is an important goal of theirs.
