Audience members clearly appreciated the performance and were more than willing to share experiences of their own in the discussion forum following the performance.

While one audience member told of her struggle, her mother’s depression and contemplation of suicide, another audience member told about her crushing depression after hitting menopause.

The straightforward performance opened the door for people with similar experiences to relate to one another — exactly what Kilkelly had hoped for.

“Depression is a combination of repressed anger and silence and how depressed someone is may be a function of a restriction on them to speak and express,” Kilkelly said.

By breaking her silence theatrically, Kilkelly broke the silence of many others.

Anyone who listened to excerpts from her extensive comments at the press conference she held yesterday could tell that this little chic is obsessed with herself, obsessed with the attention she's getting and bent on making excuses for the rape of a 14-year-old boy.

The "apologies" and "remorse" were secondary to her obsession with herself and her "disorder".

People "just don't understand" that mental disorders are real and LaFave said she wants to focus attention on the plight of the mentally ill.
