Passion Pit frontman Michael Angelakos has been open about his mental illness before. He even won an award last year for increasing awareness and putting a positive face on his experiences with bipolar disorder. Angelakos took to Twitter to criticize Henry Rollins for his controversial editorial about suicide. (Rollins recently apologized for his words.) "Yes, @henryrollins, you made it all so clear for the rest of us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, especially while the family is grieving," the singer said. Read his full series of tweets below. He also mentions that Passion Pit is almost done with their third album.
Yes, @henryrollins, you made it all so clear for the rest of us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, especially while the family is grieving.

To those who are experiencing any degree of suicidal ideation, don't just "hang in there," do cross fit, pop a pill. Get help. People care.

If you don't have someone to talk to, please go to http://t.co/nkBucc9JMU, a therapist, a teacher, a friend... People do care about you.

When you're in the thick of it, it's impossible to recognize that others care. They do. I do. Open up and allow people to help you.

And for the record, many medicines can and do work. Other procedures do as well, including ECT, EMDR, and so on. Many treatments available.

Just want to clear up the tweet regarding if one is experiencing suicidal ideation. There is no quick fix. First talk, then explore options.

Also, while I'm on here I might as well give an update. LP3 is close to completion. More specific updates to come.
