Owen Wilson is an American actor and writer. Wilson was previously linked with actress Demi Moore, singer Sheryl Crow and, most recently, with the actress Kate Hudson. His relationship with Hudson ended in May 2007. The police were called to Wilson's Santa Monica residence on August 26th, 2007. Wilson was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for treatment, and his attorney later confirmed that the actor had been taking antidepressants. He is said to have attempted suicide by slashing his wrists and taking an overdose of pills.
Because of his hospitalization, Wilson was forced to drop out of the cast of the comedy "Tropical Thunder". "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time," said the star of "Wedding Crashers." Later,however, he did appear in early October at the premier of "The Darjeeling Limited," a comedy about three brothers on a train voyage through India in which he stars.
Depression interferes with daily life and is not merely a temporary mood. Patients diagnosed with depression should be treated immediately and if the syndrome continuous, they should be put on suicide watch. Antidepressents, contrary to popular belief, do not cure serious depression. A recent study in the Journal of American Psychiatry found that antidepressants may be responsible for a rise in the risk of suicide among teenagers. And some researchers believe that antidepressants pose similar risks for some adults as well.

good job Hazel. The only thing I would like critic is your font. Its kind of hard to read. But other than that you did amazing.
Interesting. I liked that you connected it to people in general at the end. Some of the information about his dating status at the top seems a tad irrelevant to me, but it still is a good piece! :)
I would give you a 97 :)
I liked your commentary. But you didnt really explain how you feel,I'd give you a 95
I think you did a great job! I also found the final paragraph where you talked about teens and depression was a nice addition. Still, I think you should've talked about how you felt about depression. But overall, I found it very interesting and informative! I'd give you a 98. :D
So cool to hear about Owen. He's such a good actor, but even through that, he can still have problems. Really interesting blog, good job.
Man such a sad story, but a growing topic in our society these days. great job on relating it to us
he's still alive right? he's a funny actor, especially with jackie chan. depression sucks. good post
Very intriguing post. I would never have thought Owen Wilson as being depressed, as he is well known for his comedy films. You did a good job in communicating how the disorder affected him, and kudos on connecting it with other aspects of society. Although you did not directly comment on how you feel about depression, you allow the reader to infer it from the connection you set up with teens.
man i love this guy. i hope he gets rid of the disorder for good. good job on the blog
woah I didn't know that he was supposed to be in Tropic Thunder. I loved that movie! It would have been so much better with Owen Wilson's comedic abilities. I never would've guessed he suffered from depression by watching his movies. He seems like such a happy guy!
btw make your font bigger. It's hard to read!
