Hi, lifelong major depression endurer here. You can absolutely laugh when you’re depressed. In fact if you laugh just the right way, it can lead to increased medication and more frequent therapy sessions, maybe even a visit to a nice medical facility. Never had that last one myself, but I know someone who was legally disallowed from purchasing a firearm for years (IL).
Not exactly the same, but I had a psychiatrist who said that because I was able to laugh I couldn’t have depression. Like??

Same. My therapist told me “you don’t look depressed”.
I’ve been told I don’t look autistic. You should see them collapsing when I ask them what autism looks like
