I was thinking that maybe Prince suffered from depression more than we originally knew. If Judith is to believed, he definitely suffered from it at the end. Susan Rogers referenced depression where P was concerned and his inability to admit it back in the day. Prince did admit depression in older interviews when he talked about his earlier days. I even reckon that P's use of an non=pronouncible symbol of duality instead of just using a different name like he did for the other times he compartmentalized (Camile, Jamie Starr, Alexander Nevermind, Peter Bravestrong.) as a possible indication of depression.. Going without a verbal expression of one's self could be construed by others as a egotistical stunt, but it could also be construed as a way of almost eradicating one's former self.

Recently, Cassandra O'Neal posted about depression on her facebook page. She talked about a male musician who she recently discovered had let depression take him. I don't know if she was talking about P or someone else (maybe it was one of his associates giving in to the pressure of being publically ridiculed for exploiting P without looking out for him when he was alive.) I am not sure who she was talking about. But she talked about musicians being depresssed often due to their being sensitive and observant types and she was tired of seeing musicians take their lives due to depression. I wonder if the insiders suspect that P took his life like some of us do.

There is a thread discussion for that, it's been brought up ....... http://prince.org/msg/7/454164
