Naomi Judd died at the age of 76, a day before she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame with her duo partner and daughter Wynonna Judd.

“No one would take their life voluntarily. It has to be... there’s the individual and there’s the illness. They’re not one and the same. A person has their personality, their characteristics, their loving heart, their talents… right? And then there’s this illness and that is the enemy,” Angelina Hudson, Executive Director of NAMI Greater Houston, said.

Hudson said more people need to think of this as a disease. Just like anyone can succumb to diseases like cancer, heart attacks, and mental illness.“When a family steps into the limelight and says ‘It’s my son, it’s my daughter, it’s me.’ The very first thing that is trampled on is the stigma,” Hudson explained. “Mental health conditions do not care what race, color, creed, religion, or socioeconomic status, it is an illness and it does not have a particular population that it targets.
