Laughter Helps Fight Depression

In today’s world, there are several people suffering from depression. Depression is the illness that affects you physically and emotionally in a number of ways – lack of interest in family, friends and fun; state of mind in which you just isolate yourself. We see a lot of people around us who are always sad and depressed. It is very difficult for them to laugh. Being depressed and sad all the time is the mindset which develops and becomes habitual over a period of time. Of course one needs to consult a doctor but the laughter therapy with it will always help cure faster.

Also those who have suffered strokes in the primal brain region have to undertake prolonged sessions of laughter as it has vital role to play.

Laughing is associated with greater resistance and ability to deal with strain. It influences you to see a world from a positive perspective.

So not only is it the medicine to fight depression and stress but also to prevent depression. The sixth sense which is really very important for living is sense of humour, which should not be underestimated at all.
