I believe his widow just announced that Robin had difficulties with depression and anxiety. He was also diagnosed recently as having Parkinsons Disease. Mood disturbances and anxiety are associated with Parkinsons Disease, and can precede the appearance of motor symptoms by as many as six years (similar to Huntingtons Disease). PET scans seem to corroborate this.
