    I once heard a doctor say that having depression and telling someone it's not that bad, is like telling someone to walk on a broken leg. Mental illness should be a priority at every yearly physical.

      Good comment Michelle. Knowledge about mental issues like depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder is more common than it use to be. However, trying to explain it to someone who has not experienced it, is like trying to explain the color blue to a blind person. Well meaning people may suggest a healthier diet or exercising more often. While it is true that these things do help, but they do not resolve the illness. Medication, counseling and having a good support system is necessary. Sadly, there is so much misinformation surrounding mental issues, that the public has no idea what it takes to act, speak and think as if nothing is wrong, when nothing could be farther from the truth. I apologize for rambling on, but it is therapeutic to communicate with someone who understands. 😊

      💯% FACTS ... but health insurance companies (especially Medicare) in the U.S. don't really give a flying f*** about someone's mental health because of monetary reasons and for that I think there REALLY needs to be new legislation passed to stop the GREED. It really is true what they say about the love of money.

      While agree....why is mental health or lack thereof such a huge problem? Why is everyone, especially under the age of 30 suffering from anxiety, stress and unbelievable depression? Shouldn't we look into that? Maybe...the pill popping needs to stop.Major surgeries that are strictly optional...aka not necessary...just desired.Get off the internet, put down the phones, interact with living breathing human beings, take a walk, stop worrying what everyone thinks if....find religion whoever that entails.

      Depression or not, no loving Mother should leave a nasty note to make her daughter, or son for that matter, feel guilty. She will bear that pain the note caused for the rest of her life. She doesn’t deserve that, no one does. What Naomi did was selfish. She knew Ashley would find her and she will also be traumatized the rest of her life. Naomi not only took her life, she destroyed any chance at happiness her daughters had. They have my deepest sympathy.

      That story line is so common with pop/rock stars. Poverty stricken for years trying to get up to the next level. Then suddenly they have a breakout hit and more which rockets them up to fame and money. Then they've got fans mobbing them, record label execs, scammers/managers, issues within the band and so on. It just overwhelms them. Then try to escape mentally from the new chaos in their life with drugs which too often ends badly.
      Its like they got to the level of fame they wanted, but when got there it was nothing like they hoped it would be. But everyone is different in how they handle fame. Seems like the faster the rise, the faster the fall.

    Met her and her daughter when they had just started in the business at Radio and Records conference. They had just put out a number one hit and were starting to explode plus they were the nicest two people you will ever meet. She, Naomi, particularly was wonderful to talk with. I was no one from a small station with an out of date recorder when I was behind a bunch of people waiting to get to interview them and maybe get a couple of cuts announcing our station. Short promo stuff you did back in the day.
    Anyway, when I had got up to them she asked how long I'd been waiting and I told her so she had me sit down on a chair behind their table. How cool. I'm sure everyone was wondering who the heck I was. Ha. So there I was. I was instantly in love with Naomi. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Perfect skin and smile. It was almost impossible for me to even do the interview so she said to just relax and write down the name of my station and the jocks. She did a bunch of station ID's and intros for the jocks and then we started the interview. I think she could have talked about baking and living in the country or music and it would have been great. Gave me all my tape recorder would take without changing.
    I'm 68 now and it broke my heart when she left us. But that's ok. She and I are both buddies with God so I'll see her and that smile again if I'm lucky

      I really feel like they got it wrong with the meds they use for mental health issues. I had a medical professional once tell me that they actually only work short term, that’s why there’s always a need to increase the dosage and/or add more. I have heard so many stories of people who try to get off of them (safely, supervised by a doctor) and it’s impossible to do so. One case the patient suffered well over a year on a reduced dose and finally had to go back on the full dose because he was so sick. Doctor told him he’d never make serotonin on his own again. There’s something wrong with that picture. Another patient, it took her 3 full years before she felt normal again after stopping those meds. I think we need to investigate that class of medications (and the pharmaceutical companies that create them) and find a better way to treat mental health issues than what they’re doing now, as it’s clearly not working. My heart goes out to anyone who is struggling with their mental health. They deserve better than what the medical industry is doing for them. Truly.

Cancer is a multi billion dollar industry. They aren’t trying to cure it. They make too much money if they don’t. SSRIs and depression meds are the leading class of prescribed meds in the US today. And they use those drugs for so many off label diseases: migraines, insomnia, pain, hot flashes ffs. I know because they’ve tried to give them to me for all of those illnesses.

      Same. Thyroid disease is a hell I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy if I had one. Doctors don't know how to test for it properly (meaning they almost never run a FULL thyroid panel or antibody test which is even more important) much less treat it. (Throw the patient a bottle of synthroid and send them on their way) Usually there is a cocktail of antidepressants thrown in to boot and a LOT of mental health diagnosis umbrella, but the root causes of these issues is never addressed or tested for. Thyroid disease can cause a litany of issues most doctors equate to mental illness because it affects all of your bodily hormones including adrenal hormones, serotonin and dopamine, and vitamin D, B12, Iron & Folate deficiency. (Low D in itself causes serious depression, anxiety and panic attacks) yet many doctors dont even test it. They would rather get a kickback from big pharma and prescribe an antidepressant than run a simple vitamin D panel) it is very complex and includes alot of moving parts. I hate for anyone to have to suffer with it. It is a tragedy that she was on such a cocktail of prescription medications (treat the symptoms not the cause once again)...such a shame.

However, being hypothyroid a lot of my symptoms were hyper for instance I lose weight instead of gain, I suffer severe insomnia won't sleep for days and have severe arrythemias. They finally diagnosed my anemia in 06 Megablastic. I was thrown into Thyroid Storm in 2013 and they refused to listen to me and put me in a Mental/Drug/Alcohol facility. I was 84 lbs, went blind, full blown hallucinations and delusions, hypokalemia, every vitamin and mineral bottomed out, didn't sleep for 21 days except for them knocking me out with 2 shots at a time anywhere they could stick me. They put me there twice. Thyroid Storm has a 90% fatality rate with treatment and I had none. State Psychiatrist I was ordered to see as outpatient told me on my second visit, there was never anything wrong with you except your Thyroid. I said. I know I kept telling them that. He wanted me to sue them all but I got PTSD from the medical staff abuse, I was beaten to the ground three times by staff, I had to focus on my sanity and healing and said God will get them. I removed all their medications from my body and since then only allow my Blood pressure meds, female hormones and Synthroid. And I had to figure out that thyroid and female hormones play off each other no male Dr ever told me that until I brought it to their attention. We have to advocate for ourselves!

      The military used an air injector for years to administer the battery of vaccinations that every recruit gets upon accession. They used a high-pressure jet of air to carry the vaccine through the skin. That causes a certain amount of blood spatter, which contaminates the injector tip. As the vaccinations proceed, the blood is washed off by subsequent blood spatter and enters the vaccination site. If a recruit that precedes one in the line has hepatitis C, their blood carries the virus. And it is infectious enough that the minuscule amount of contaminated blood that gets washed into the injection site is enough to pass the disease on.
      The VA pays disability compensation to veterans who suffered an injury or illness related to their military service, such as hepatitis C contracted during the troop's initial vaccinations. They are also on the hook, so to speak, for treatment of those service-connected injuries and illnesses. The VA set out to reduce the number of vets who were suffering from hepatitis C, and found a solution that reduced the number of virus particles in the patient's blood to undetectable levels. I cannot help but wonder if Naomi's hepatitis C could have been treated with the VA's protocol.

Her medical team threw everything but the kitchen sink at it, Some of the meds caused horrible side effects, so she was given other things to try and counteract them. I personally feel that she fought her mental illness until she decided she was tired of being a walking medicine cabinet with no sign of getting better.

    Just the thought of what this precious lady went through, tears at my heart. Molested when she was three years old, with no one to protect her. Raped and beaten twice I think she almost died. Raised two babies on her own and managed to get through nursing school. She said her mother never told her she loved her, and never hugged her. I can relate to that. She felt like she was never good enough for anyone or anything. I wish she could have seen herself as I saw her -- bright, beautiful, talented, funny, spunky, and a whole lot of other good things. It just ripped me apart the day she died. When I hear all the medicines she was on, I wouldn't be surprised if she was totally unaware of what she was doing. I think one anti depressant at a time should be fine, if that doesn't work try another, don't throw so many together. That was enough to make people think she had dementia even if she didn't She was such a beautiful soul, and I will miss her to the end of my time. I love you Naomi Ellen. 🥰

It sounds like she was miserable. She had so many surgeries to hang on to youthful beauty. In show business, well looking "good" is part of the trade.

    People seem to think money and fame can buy happiness, but it can’t. Changing your exterior doesn’t change the interior. The thing that bothers me about this, is that her family knew she was in this frame of mind. Made it a point to have at least one of them there while she did it. Not to stop her or get her help, but to let her go through with it. I guess she didn’t want to be found after a little time passed because of the condition her body would be in postmortem. Vanity followed her to the end. I remember when this first happened and her daughters gave an interview about it, and what they had to say makes me come to this conclusion. You can be surrounded by people and/or things, but your always alone in your own mind. And we never truly know what someone is dealing with internally. I say this with experience.

    My fathers side of the family had a history of mental illness and in 1989 at 58 years old my father took his own life. I was 31 years old when that happened and since then there has been 2 more suicides in our family!! I have also been diagnosed with chronic depression and bipolar 1 since my father died. I have no doubt my father also had bipolar but up until the 1980s very little was still known about mental health.The medical field has progressed some since 1989 but not nearly enough!!! They need to make it a top priority. It's a medical crisis in this country and since covid19 suicide rates have skyrocketed!!! It's time our medical field recognize it's a huge problem and do something about it!!! Its been ignored way too long!!!!!!

      Please I urge you....demand your doctor run a full thyroid panel with the antibodies (not a partial test but the FULL panel) and make sure they run the antibodies. Also run the two vitamin D tests (super important) as well as b12 and folate. Demand it! Get a copy of your labs to see that they've run them too.

    My uncle had gone to the dr to get help for his severe depression. The dr said he could prescribe meds, but that it would take several weeks to notice a difference. My uncle said, “I don’t have that long.” He pulled over in his truck and shot himself in the head. My mom had told us for years that she dreamed of his head rolling into her lap. Since I was a little kid (64 now), she told us she had that dream again and again. After he did that, she sadly said, “Now, I understand.”

Unless you've seen this in person, as I have twice, I don't think you understand she knew her time to make a decision on how her body would be until it gives out several years down the road, had to be soon and she did it.
    She was a nurse, I think, before so she knew what was ahead of her. I would have done the same thing. Most people would but wait too long and that ability to act is gone. Dementia is not a down hill slope. It's a sheer cliff drop off.

With the disorders she suffered from and the numerous medications she was prescribed, you truly believe she was in her right mind? What the hell is wrong with you?

The dark patches are from the gun powder it will usually burn the skin at a close contact (which is one of the first things we have to check, because if there is gun powder it could have been self inflicted. But if there in only slight "tanning or blackening" of the wound it often means that she was murdered) at which time we can no longer touch the body and the hands are placed as well as the shoes and feet are placed in plastic bag to preserve anything that might have value to the police. Otherwise it sound like she died in a way she wanted to, sadly

    I remember seeing she died- but not that it was self inflicted. Very sad to hear Naomi left a grudge filled letter to Winona when she departed… those two has an inordinately complicated and tension filled relationship, but also a loving, caring one too…How upsetting to know the last things you fought abt were the last things that will ever be said again, (in this life, anyways) and it was likely just another one of their typical miscommunications or misunderstandings… however, this time, there was to be no more opportunities to forgive, forget, &/or just move on… w/ understanding; love, & Grace.

We all have some level of depression. It's who will be the strongest survivor & strongest to battle demons. His "CHOICE" is to keep going. Myself I've been diagnosed with metastatic renal clear carcinoma stage 4 Cancer. Chemo every 4 weeks for the rest of my life. My " CHOICE ", is, either the meds STOP WORKING or my body gives out.

      @carole4119 I did not realize that about Ashley, but Winona and Naomi had an off relationship. Then I saw somewhere that Naomi left everything to her husband. I guess that is normal as if the 2 daughters need money. I don't think Naomi trusted Winona for some reason.

      Naomi had lied about Wynonna's biological father for many years.

    Depakote is also among the drugs originally used to treat seizures but later found to be useful in the treatment of depression. There are several drugs like that.

    This one I find so very very sad. God bless her family and friends and may she be at peace.
