Owen Wilson was reported in good condition Monday (August 27) after being taken to a hospital by paramedics over the weekend, according to The Associated Press. Wilson "is here in good condition," Cynthia Harding, a spokeswoman for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills, California, told the AP. The actor had initially been taken to St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica. Wilson released the following statement Monday: "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time." Several media outlets have claimed that Wilson attempted suicide, but those reports have yet to be substantiated. ----------- Shocking. |

The only "media" that are calling it a suicide attempt at the moment are The National Enquirer and the Star. Either way - it's sad to hear about this. |

Jeeze, you guys are harsh!! I mean he's done some shit movies, that's true, but not all of them have been bad, and like FairyKing said it's a risk that actors take as even phenomenal actors will make a shit movie eventually. And it's always sad to learn that someone is suffering so badly they want to end their lives. Here's hoping he gets the help he needs. |

Besides, serious subjects need to be subjected to humour too. It helps people deal with them. |

I guess it's official: Police were called to Owen Wilson's home because of an attempted suicide report, according to a police log of weekend calls. The log doesn't indicate who made the call Sunday, but lists "attempt suicide" as the reason for it. Wilson was in good condition Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Hospital officials said Tuesday they weren't releasing any updated information. The actor's publicist, Ina Treciokas, declined to answer questions Tuesday about whether Wilson attempted to commit suicide. She said Wilson's statement asking for privacy was all that was being released. link |

It's obvious that some people here have never suffered from depression or any other psychological disorder. Believe it or not, it's a serious issue. Make fun of it if you want, but I don't enjoy making light of other people's suffering. |

^ ah! i knew it. for the record, ive dealt with it for 11 years. it sucks, but the best anyone can do is get treatment if it hinders lives, or try and laugh at it theirselves, and be surrounded by good and supportive people. i do hope he gets some kind of treatment. owen is lucky enough to have a career most would kill for, and from what most can see, a loving and supportive family. as far as im concerned, hes a brat if he refuses to see that, and choses to go down an undesirable path, and that is his choice. i can only hope in the end he makes the right choice, by seeking some kind of treatment. myself, i have never wanted suicide, but ive had moments i wish i were never born, so i wouldnt have known what suffering like that, is like. i actually fear death, because i feel like i havent lived my life enough, and i know im here for a reason, and i hope to fufill that reason. in depression, i can understand finding life undesirable to live after a while, but again, if treated, and put in a good environment, it can be helped. im sorry, but i feel no sympathy to those who have attempted suicide...but ive been thru this discussion before, and i dont feel like fighting, so ill stop right there. |

i dont want to make fun one little bit but... i cant help but remember the story about one of S-club7 who tried to kill herself by sticking her head in an electric oven whenever i hear of a celebrity suicide attempt. its a cry for help and hopefully now he can get it and sort himself out. im not exactly a fan mind you.. |

Hopefully, I hope I never consider suicide an option again. Luckily my bipolar illness is sort of a textbook case and reasonably treatable. I have met many people who's minds are much more screwed up more than my mind. Hopefully, there is still hope for them. |

Anyone who suffers from true clinical depression knows that it doesn't matter how much money you have, how successful your career is, how big your house is, how many cars you own, etc, etc. "Things" don't help true depression. It is a disease. Its like saying a diabetic who is rich and famous shouldn't need insulin because of their station in life. I've suffered with depression most of my adult life. I truly came alive 10 years ago with a wonderful doctor and the right course of treatment. I hope that Owen is as lucky and get the help that he deserves. |

Depression is a disease, a serious one. From the outside it looks like it's just a stupid thing you can get over, but I can tell you from personal experience that it is not. You cannot get out of it yourself...you are helpless to the disease until it is treated properly. Unfortunately, that also means you have to pursue the treatment yourself, because just like drug addiction you have to admit you need help. To be able to truly understand depression and how it affects your life, you have to experience it...it cannot be described. But I would not wish what Janet and I have both been through on my worst enemy. So don't judge until you can truly understand and empathize with what a person is going through. |

It just happens. Drugs, however, are a choice, with addiction (often) being the result. |

Hopefully I'll stay that way, but I recognize the fact that because it runs in my family and I've been diagnosed with it once, I'm going to be very susceptible to suffering from it again. |
