he talked about it... people just didn't want to listen.
I'm sure people listened
M Versmekes very true. You can see in the documentary he kept saying he is tired. Of that he didn’t want to do this anymore. And they had all these bookings and events lined up for him. I also experience this so often. Telling my boss, company doctor and I don’t who else that things were not going well. That I lost my appetite, when I slept, my hands balled up in fists. And they were cramped up in the morning. I had trouble sleeping. Cried a lot, always tired and I missed a few red lights.... I saw them, but I didn’t respond to them. One was for a train, it was a good thing the beams (I don’t know what they are called.) came down and I stopped. Later at my family doctor I was diagnosed with a burnout and depression. They put me on antidepressants immediately and made an new appointment to check up. When I told my boss, nothing changed...they even gave me more work...
@@Dee8Bee I hope you're doing better! Keep your head up! Pain is temporary, Suffering is optional.
They listened they just didn't understand
He talked about something else but people cannot decode the words, this eyes are not that friendly eyes. ... i think hes song "For a better days" explain many things... involved to be
I love how he says “he revolutionized electronic dance music”
The interviewer is amazing
If you laugh you sub! Just because someone did it before him, doesn’t mean that it isn’t true. He genuinely did revolutionize EDM.
If you laugh you sub! Actually he did
If you laugh you sub! Avicii MADE EDM extremely popular because of his music. He wasn’t one of the first EDM musicians, but he made it big.
@If you laugh you sub! The really huge commercial appeal was made possible by David Guetta, Avicii. Tiësto joined that party around 2012, 2013, which was a tad bit later. Also, he blends that pop sound more with the big room or progressive sound, so it's kinda different. And yes, he is my favorite DJ since 2007, so I followed his career.
My heart became warm
His father is very brave to do this interview to help others. We support you in your loss and grief.
Yeah definitely true x
Klas’s speech was great, and Avicii will never be forgotten
Jafar - Klas? He’s Avicii’s dad
*_avicii didn't commited suicide_*

@@Im_Z_4747 I’m still not sure if that’s true
@@Im_Z_4747 stfu you clown.
@@Im_Z_4747 He did commit suicide!
Yet in America to see a mental health professional is far too expensive for most.
Ikr
Our healthcare system, and government as a whole, are broken.
It Is such a shame that only rich people in America afford getting well
You don't need a mental health professional to get well. You just need to work on your mentality and get help from either yourself or if you do not have the mental fortitude to do that, from the other close people around you.
@@thedave8097 "You just need to"...Right here is the stigma, when someone says "You just have to..". Like it's that simple and only a matter of will, and "getting your act together"... Nobody would say to a person who has diabetes, "Oh, just get on with your life, never mind the insulin". Most mental illnesses stem from a chemical imbalance in the brain, and there are many other factors (like trauma, or childhood events) that may lead to a mental illness.. Just because it is invisible, not a physical illness, doesn't make it less of an illness. I know I'm gonna have to live with my disorder for the rest of my life, it is beyond my power to just get rid of it. It is incredibly exhausting tbh. People don't stay sick because they're lazy or happy in their misery. This thing is simply bigger than them.
😥😥😥😥😥 my heart still breaks knowing avicii is not here anymore
Yes I almost cry when I hear Klas. A young man with so much talent. Oh, I feel so proud of tim and that he was from Sweden just like me. But how I wish he was still alive. Zero suicid!
I've attempted suicide and failed to die. Even success cannot give you a life.
My fellow people, your health comes first.
I weeped while watching this video, this is so relatable.
Don't choose death, mate, don't do it.
Thank you for sharing. You’re so brave. Keep fighting the good fight. You’re not alone. We can do this.
Thank you for sharing, brave!
Stay strong, never give up
Atharva Kharbade thank you for sharing. Me personally will be happy to see my old friend Death again.
You didn't failed to die, you succeeded at living on. Take care of yourself and your friends.
Good friends, honesty and togetherness build strength in everyone.
Avicii your soul and spirit still linger in my mind , deep down my heart.. huge respect to you.😞😞
Dear Klas. Sorry for your loss. Its a loss that affects us all. Lets talk about mental health. Lets all use Tim's untimely transition to save others with mental illness. Avicii forever in our hearts.
It’s so sad the way he died. I feel so bad for his family, and everyone around him. I only learned of this recently and it broke my heart. We love you Avicii!
Connor W have u been living under a rock?
Matilda Eklund Is that actually necessary? Be kind please
@@sweetpeace5 I know right ppl talking so mean to eachother on here, and yet the video is about mental health, u dont know how it can affect another person, some ppl are more sensitive to things like that than others
@Lea some ppl just arent as strong no matter how hard I try..
Matilda E actually it wasn’t heavily on the news in England. It’s not a case of living under a rock.
"You should talk about it and you shouldn't be afraid to ask for help"
That was some wise words. Stress, Anxiety and suicide thoughts need way more attention in 2020.
Except he WASN'T afraid to talk about it and he DID ask for help. Problem is his team didn't care bc they forced him to work anyway with an emphasis on "stress management" rather than giving him his much needed time off. So evil.
he did talk about it-eveyone knew he had problems.But money comes first
It's sad how people except for his family ignored him.
I went to one of his shows a while back. His music always gave me goosebumps. I suffer from anxiety, depression and alcoholism myself- you’d never in a million years guess this about me. His music and his songs have helped me through the darkest of times. I wish I could’ve reciprocated. ❤️
How are you doing now , I hope you are okay. I'm here to talk. ❤️ I struggle with self harm. I know I could die and what scares me is how that doesn't scare me.
Are you okay?
@@its_lemon_19 Are you okay also?
So very relatable. How are you? I can relate. Depression, anxiety, and addiction are all cut from the same cloth.
I hope you all are doing better❤Remember you are loved❤And I hear you❤I care so much about you❤Don't hesitate to ask help❤
I went through depression. My mom found out and was so disgusted that she told the entire family to stop speaking to me. I live by myself in a foreign country, so it didn't affect me as much but it was still horrible. Not every parent reacts in a helpful way. I think that's why a lot of people don't talk about it.
I find no words for your mother's reaction. Wishing you all the best because you're worth it! Hope you're doing well ❤️ Greetings from Sweden
Sending my love from England dude! I’m going through a time time at the moment and just wanted to send my best wishes
Keep pushing, you got this
Wtf, where u come from?
I am so sorry you had to go through this. And you are right no every parent are as helpful as Avicii's parents. I remember the first time I had a panic attack( I didn't know what it was at that time) my mom just said "Stop acting. Be normal." It was horrible.
I was devastated when I found out about his death. He got me into EDM and he will always be my favorite DJ. RIP Tim Bergling.

Avicii look like his dad.
yen xion how strange
how strange, how strange
His head shape and the way he talks
As someone who is dealing with depression, his music means a lot to me, it helped me find a voice and made me feel like everything was gonna be ok, RIP Avicii 💙
So much of his music was life-affirming and joyous. That’s why his suicide came as such a shock to me - I couldn’t understand how the creator of such beautiful music could be so desperate to not only end his life, but to do it under those dramatic circumstances was just horrifying.
Mighty Minxx~ I hope you keep listening to Avicii’s music and hearing whatever it is that made you feel everything was gonna be OK.... Keep listening.... 💙
Cheryl B of course, one Avicii song a day keeps the depression at bay 🤷🏻♂️😭
@@synthesizerpatel7405 just goes to show that you never truly know what someone is going through on the inside, regardless of their situation on the outside.
If i may ask do you know why you depressed? keny west GOD is..... you need god in your life.
I miss you so much Tim.. reast in peace you beautiful soul.
When Tim's dad said I want people to remember him as a good person, I just thought he is a good person, he's helped so many people through deal times, just that alone makes him a great person, RIP avicii, we all love and miss you

Avicii died on my 16th birthday. I remember that Friday I was feeling ok. I got home and found out and I started crying I also remembered that it was not only my birthday but my fraternal twin sister, she passed away a couple weeks after we were born. Wake me up has always had a special place in my heart. I always listen to it whenever I feel like giving up. Avicii was such a amazing dj, I really love his music. Sky full of stars was also written by him and that song has always reminded me of my sister, I also suffer from depression I'm getting help but everyday it feels more and more heavier. It breaks my heart that Avicii took his own life but I understand him. I once attempted to as well but had it not been for my mom knocking on my door who knows if I would still be here. I'm glad more people are talking about mental health. We're not crazy, we're humans, we shouldn't be ashamed for living, our illness(es)there's nothing wrong with going to therapy or anything, stop shaming us. Please be patient with us, we're trying our best. RIP Avicii.
Are you doing good now?
This is absolute proof that filling your life with things, people and money won't solve your issues with depression.
I’m not a father and can only guess what the loss of a child feels like. Kudos to this strong man for telling the story of his life with his son and the love he has for him.
Whenever i hear his music I always get emotional 🥺💔
Tim often made songs with a meaning. I think that sets him apart from most other DJ's.
@@danield982 ❣😥
My heart goes out to his loved ones, including Liam😢
Even he lost his son, but he proud that avicii make the world shine.
I like the way the interviewer (Anthony I believe) conducted the interview with Mr. Bergling. Very empathetic approach, asking also how Mr. Bergling is doing. And not in the way "I need to extract the information" kind of way that most interviewers nowadays approach it. But form a place of understanding
Klas was/is a great father. He's the very model of supportive and kindhearted. He even helped finish Tim's game, which recently came out.
As a dad I’m so sad
Such a big loss, such a shame.. I still can t believe it sometimes.. Rest in peace sweet beautiful Tim ❤️😭
Being of swedish decent I remember reading about the high rates of depression. It also appears that Tim was an introvert and this life style was burning him up inside. The Swedes are such kind, loving, gentle people. I never heard my grandfather say a harsh word about anyone.
Part of why our depression numbers are high is because people actually go and get diagnosed as it's very affordable to get help. Talking with a psychiatrist costs $40 per session up to $200 after that it's free.
@@informitas0117 I am 68 years old and read this many years ago. My great great grandmother died in an intuition after drowning her third child. She likely had a serious case of postpartum depression. I'm glad you have some of the best health care in the world. I'm very proud of my ancestry.

OK no 🙄
Good interview . Condolences to this beautiful man’s family . Millions have been on that edge and it’s terrifying place to be . Some take their own lives , some don’t . Blessings to all . Rest peacefully Tim 🙏
Avicii’s music helped me through some lows in my life and I’ll always be grateful 😢RIP Avicii
Love and Prayers to you Mr. Bergling. Thank you for talking about your son's mental health issues with the public. Stop the Stigma indeed.
He was so beautiful!! It is so sad to think that ended how it did.. I would have loved to have had a Dad like his!!! Sadness is all encompassing and so powerful it breaks you one way or another, Fact!
Your not alone #
Much love and peace to Tim’s Dad and family. I can see where Tim got his good heart. 🤍
Such sadness that his peace came at such a devastating cost. Fly free, Tim. 🕊🤍🕯👼🏼☮️💟🛐
#MentalHealthAwareness 💚
A very special person in my life is suffering from mental health issues and every day of our lives has been a struggle because of it. It's not easy hearing that person's suicidal attempts and whenever it happens, it's like I'm experiencing a stab in the heart and I feel so helpless about it each time. He loves listening to Avicii so much and knowing there are foundations such as yours around made me realize there are people who might be willing to help person like him.
I feel so bad for his family❤️
Rip
We could NEVER view Tim in anyway but AMAZING! ❤️ RIP you amazing person!!
We should view him like that yes, but not just like that. Ignoring he was suffering from mental illness is a huge disservice. He was amazing but also ill.
His father is amazing person, so supportive
I'm so sorry for your loss, Klas.
Me too
I have seen him in Las Vegas. His music was so good that I was dancing the whole night. It was one of his last shows. 😪 R.I.P. Tim 🧡🧡🧡
1:24
Hearing his voice again and again tears me up and I'll not complain about it.
tim was like: "I need to take a step down cause it's to much for me", but somehow he still got forced to make weekly concerts...
His manager was/is a greedy crook. He knew exactly what he was doing.
shame on his mgmt
He said they helped him work "smarter" instead of giving him actually breaks when he asked for time off. So their focus for him was on stress and emotional "management" instead of giving him a legit break to help him with the trauma and stress he was going through. Avicii said his dad cried when he found out how many shows he had done that year bc they were running him into the ground. Absolutely disgusting what they did to him and how they took 100% advantage of him knowing he needed real time off, not "management skills."
His father is really providing a service to help understand mental illness. Such a sad story. Beautiful music.
I still can't believe he's no longer with us even till now I pray you're in better place
He was a Genius, He will be remembered, His music is his testimony, let's hope and do the necessary, that no one humankind has to live to suffer what he went through.
Their genuine concern at the end of the video was heartwarming. I wouldn't have known what to do as a parent either.
PAPPA SAMLAR PENGAR PÅ INTERVJUER...så ledsamt.....Tim vi ska aldrig glömma dig ....Rest in peace! 🙏
Avicii's legacy will never die. Listening to his music still feels me with the joy and hope of life but also with deep sadness, I miss him still even though I didn't know him.
Still such a huge stigma and resistance today.
I never got to know him nor his music but having listened to this interview I have listened to his music too & I can confess he was really talented.
r.i.p. avicii. he got me into electronic music which is a big part of my life. much love.
Much respect to CBS for this interview.
Always in our hearts, you will be missed
Tim Bergling,Avicci, has a Good heart. RIP Avicii Brother, You Bring to my life a lot of happiness.
So sad you,suffer a lot, So sad your not with us anymore.
May he rest in peace. Legends never die.
Klas bergling : when you have a child who is not feeling well , you try everything to get the situation right...now that's pain in his words ...now he has to live with this painfull lost ....so sorry mr klass bergling

His father has the same sweet energy that Tim had. I can tell he’s a great person, just like his son. Must have been where Tim got it from. ❤️ Bless the family for being strong (despite the pain) and starting a foundation to help others.
Rip Avicii - all love to his family ❤️❤️❤️
I feel Tim on a spiritual level. I can feel what must’ve went through his mind. The chains tightening, the doors closing, happens to me all the time. Only it’s a lot less intense than what he might’ve felt considering the steps he took. I absolutely loved him, and would keep on loving him.
Avicii was someone to me teached me sooooo much. The music and Tim as well. Tim once send me back on fanmail, that ment a lot to me. I am still alive and Tim gives me everything I need ❤
Tim, vi älskar dig och saknar dig dag efter dag. Du har tagen själv härifrån men du är I mitt hjärta evigt. Jag skall tittar på du igen I himlen.
bra sverige. men jag förstod ändå isch vad du mena.
Nice google translate lul, but it was better than decent.
I miss Avicii :(
Life is so short and precious. I believe Avicii was called home to rest so that we can go on to appreciate the fragility of life and all it has to offer. Such a beautiful man and pure soul, Tim was. Never met him, but I feel like I knew him. Rest In Peace, Avicii.
It's a life before & it's a life after....the pain in those words...sorry Mr klas bergling...RIP AVICII
Im still in love with your Music😔😔.
What happened to you. Doesn't sink into my mind💛. You will always be remembered!! 😔😔💛💛💛💛
So sorry Klas. My condolences to you and you family. You shouldn't have had to plan your son's funeral . It should have been the other way around instead.Tim should still be here with you and Anki.
R.i.p. Avicii, he is my music mentor and inspiration.
Anxiety os feeling nervous for no apparent reason. Out of nowhere, your chest aches, you suddenly wake up at a certain time for no reason. Thinking too much about what's to happen must've damaged my mental well-being. This happened while I'm at ninth grade, no that is not too young, if only people just listened with the intent to understand and not to judge as if they're a better person. To anyone who's unwell, you can say everything to a random person. It makes a difference, it helped me so much
Amazing talent !!! Absolutely love this artist !! Always will 🙏❤️
Excellent interviewer, thank you well done Anthony
Wow still unbelievable he took his own life. I pray for his family, such an amazing talent gone just like that. 🥺
We miss you Avicii!! RIP
Wonderful talent. Enormous loss to music and the world. Heart breaks for his parents and close friends and family.
Its been two year and still can't get over his death
I love you Avicii. You'll forever be my favorite music producer. Since 2010
What a Legend forever in our hearts
I loved your son, he was my friend we often talked about anxiety and depression, cause i was suffering from same around the time we met, it broke my heart to lose someone so sweet GENUINE and talented, #WeAreVIRGOS, miss you Amy Winehouse
Cyber Geek Amy Winehouse??
People who have depression and feel lonely while always being surrounded by others makes me so sad. I cant change what happened but i wish i was his friend to talk to.
Tim will forever be in our hearts.
Rest in peace you beautiful soul.
Miss him wish he was still here 😞
i remember finding out he passed that day. i ran to my living room and told my mom and just sat and cried on the couch. miss you so much.
Never forgotten in death Tim has saved many lives r I p true x
The nights,fade into darkness etc.......... miss you bro
4 years later without you Tim ❤😖
I listen to The Night and wonder that how great Avicii’s dad is. Then this video show up🎉
Avicii was my childhood. When he died, it hit me hard. I started listening to him when "Wake Me Up" and "The Nights" were at their most popular. 😔
I, m so sorry 😢
We love you Avicii,rest in peace
We miss him so much ❤️
I miss him so much!
*He was a visionair*

What a tragedy..so sad to know that some people think that they don't matter anything anymore in this world.
Also very sadly the fact that I was one of those people..
YOU MATTER, LIVE YOUR LIFE PEOPLE. ❤️❤️❤️
he opened up to everybody but sadly nobody listened.😭😭😭
