Is depression funny?

Funny things can come from it in the way that funny things come from anything.

Totally. I feel good and it's amazing that you can go from sort of rock bottom to just absolute heights of happiness.

And I kind of never thought that would happen, but I find it really funny.

It is. It's that really, really terrible punchline that you have to laugh at because the person's telling the joke and it's not going to end any other way.

So yes.

Sky goes in, you see a doc says this.

Something wrong with me, I got a sadness I can't shake now.

Is there something I can't take now?

It's the hilarious world of depression, placebo addition.

I'm John Moe.

Placebo episodes are short, vignette versions of our larger format.

A bit more casual, sometimes a bit more eccentric, and a bit more of our listeners in them.

Recently I asked listeners about the strangest thing they've tried to treat depression that

actually worked.

And I heard some strange things.

And some really cool ideas.

Things I'd never thought of.

So, hooray, we're having dialogue, we're pooling our resources and helping each other.

Emma Palmer is a high school senior in Tulsa.

She got hit with depression around age 12.

It says it hasn't been that severe, but it flares up in times of stress.
