When I see many of the "celebrities" that either overdoes or commit suicide. Although saddening, I'm rarely surprised by it. Most of them do make it clear in their works/performances that they need help. But I've never had the opportunity to speak to them on a personal level. Many of their "friends" are too busy trying to reap the benefits of their social status, to lend them a listening ear, or to offer advice that may be uncomfortable to hear. Most people can't fathom the idea of being hopelessly depressed, whilst making boat loads of money and achieving such levels of fame. I on the other hand, see it as an inevitability.

I made a quote in my first couple weeks on Steemit that I feel is fitting.

"People love to Worship their Idols. The problem is people were never designed to be worshiped. After time, the worshipers and the worshipees actually begin to believe that they are in fact inferior and superior to each other. In this denial of Truth, both become corrupted.

The Worshipees, these, Idols get to enjoy the wealth and comfort of the lie for a while. But fall prey to the Truth, they are impostors. This is what drives many a celebrity Insane, or to suicide. Others appear to hold themselves together for longer while committing unspeakable acts in the shadows. But in the end they all eat, of fruits of their false labors.

On the other hand the Worshipers, daily eat of the fruits of their misplaced worship. They lack contentment, knowing deep down, that try as they might, they will never be as good as their Idols. For Truth would demand, that if they could, then there would be no reason to worship them. In refusing to stop worshiping these Idols, they war against Truth, and they remain trapped in the mind of a slave forever."
