I think he is an incredibly brave person to reveal that at one time in his life he felt like he couldn't continue. He won't be the first or the last to feel that way but I do think that we need to be very careful about ensuring people have the right supports in place at a time when they need it. Anyway more power to him, he is brilliant and I am glad he didn't succeed in his efforts.
