[+487, -23] There are a lot of people in corporate jobs all suffering from depression or panic disorders, and they don't treat it with drugs like you. It's just an excuse. No one took a knife to him and forced him to do it. He chose to do it out of his own weak will, and now he's paying the price for it ㅋ There's no need for sympathy

[+154, -5] What an excuse, just creates more of a stigma for everyone else suffering from depression and panic disorders...

[+132, -8] Most of his drugs were prescribed by a doctor for medical treatment, investigators need to go deeper and catch the thugs who are brokering celebrities and doctors to sell these drugs and take away all their licenses

[+72, -9] He makes all that money off of all that fame and interest from the public and this is his excuse? How about you try treating that depression by being grateful for what you already have~!!

[+44, -12] Yes, pay the price of your crimes and start fresh

[+19, -2] Not everyone with depression and panic disorders resort to drugs like you. There are people who endure years of therapy and drugs to try and overcome the obstacles, who rely on their family and friends to keep them straight. A lot of them are actually more concerned about being a burden on others. Please don't go straight to blaming depression and panic disorders whenever you find yourself in a scandal.

[+15, -0] The excuse doesn't work with me. If resorting to drugs was excusable for anyone with depression, then half this country would be full of druggies. 

[+10, -1] Is there any modern person who doesn't suffer from depression these days?????

[+10, -2] Saying that depression is an excuse for your crime is like saying a s*x criminal should be excused because he suffered from loneliness for a long time. Not everyone with depression and panic disorders smokes p*t or propofol. You committed a crime and it's time to pay for it.

[+8, -0] Please don't try and lump yourself with people who are suffering from depression and panic disorders. Even when treatments or medications don't help, a lot of people still choose to go on day by day as much as they can. You chose to commit a crime that cannot be justified... You were chasing the high that those drugs gave you, don't go and link that to depression now. It's just creating a bigger stigma for people struggling with those mental illnesses.
