Comment on Shane MacGowan has diedparent

Comments

Sinead O'Connor developed some quite serious mental health issues, and the suicide of her son finished her. McGowan was just a hard-core partier.

Yes. Terrible, all of it.

GP's comment that MacGowan was a partier is correct. But there was a terrible misdiagnosis in the case of Sinéad. She was never bipolar but was prescribed medication for it, after she had a mastectomy which caused hormonal unbalances.

Depressed and maybe borderline she was, but above all devastated by the preventible suicide of her son. (which is a huge story of Ireland's health service momumental fuckups on its own.)
