Miss Diagnosed: Using Comedy to Heal

On this episode of The Mental Society, I am joined by self-proclaimed bad bitch/sad bitch Monna. MONNA is a quick-witted stand-up comedian, the owner of Claws Out Media & Entertainment, and the creator/producer of Claws Out Comedy.  MONNA balances her dark sense of humor with nuanced wordplay and silver linings as she delves into sensitive subjects- ranging from romantic relationships to dealing with mental health.

This week’s Mental Morsel: Take some time to laugh.

Laughing in the short-term increases oxygen relieves your tension, and releases endorphins to help you feel better. Long term, it can improve your immune system, relieve pain, increase personal satisfaction and improve your overall mood. Laughing can feel hard sometimes, so when I’m feeling blah, I enjoy corny and punny jokes, like dad jokes. So take a break and check out this website for some classic dad jokes.
