I take zoloft because my body doesn't make enough serotonin. I take thyroid pills because my body doesn't make enough of that either. Not embarrassed. Why should I be?

    To learn more about how a sense of humor can be beneficial for our mental health, we got in touch with a couple of experts who were kind enough to share their thoughts on the topic with Bored Panda

    Matt Teal LCSW, CASAC, the practice director at Rochester Counseling Group in Upstate, New York, says it’s absolutely healthy to try to find humor in our mental health struggles. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Laughter has been shown as a highly effective way to ‘complete the stress cycle’ in the human body,” Matt shared. “It releases tensions and negative thoughts, according to Dr. Emily and Amelia Nagoski.”

    “Think about the act of laughing, especially when it comes from the gut,” the therapist continued. “You are throwing your head back, exposing your throat, and closing your eyes. When you do this, the body associates the act with being safe.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “There is also this phrase called the ‘knowing laugh,’” Matt noted. “It's when you share something that you think is quirky or unique to you and all of the sudden the room erupts because everyone else thought it was ‘just them’ who experienced that same thing. Here’s an example.”

    We also got in touch with psychologist, psychotherapist and digital nomad Dr. Sonia Jaeger to hear her thoughts on this topic. She agrees that humor can be a powerful coping t**l when it comes to mental health. “While it shouldn't replace professional support or minimize real struggles, finding humor in our experiences can offer a sense of relief, validation, and connection,” the therapist shared.

    I was raised to believe that having wants and needs makes you weak, and that people will use that weakness to hurt you.

    “Memes, in particular, have a unique way of capturing complex emotions and experiences in a simple, often humorous format. They can make us feel less alone in our struggles and help us view our challenges from a different, sometimes more compassionate perspective,” Dr. Jaeger explained. “Laughing at a relatable meme can be a small but meaningful way to release tension and feel understood.”

    Matt believes memes can certainly be useful in therapy. “I use them to help clients understand their diagnosis, describe a symptom we are treating or even a skill they can use to manage symptoms,” he shared.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “I've also had times where my clients, in trying to explain to me what they are going through, will say there is a meme they saw that relates to it,” the expert continued. “It sometimes even helped us get ‘unstuck’ with how to better verbalize and understand what the person is going through. And it started with sharing a meme.”

    Dr. Jaeger also says memes can definitely have a place in therapy. 

    “They can act as a bridge for communication—especially for clients who find it difficult to articulate their feelings,” she told Bored Panda. “Instead of saying, ‘I don’t know how I feel,’ a client might share a meme that perfectly captures their emotional state. This can spark productive discussions and offer the therapist valuable insight into the client’s inner world.”

    When it comes to how to incorporate memes into therapy, Dr. Jaeger noted that there are several ways. “The therapist can bring in a selection of memes that touch on common mental health themes, letting clients choose ones that resonate with them,” she explained.

    On the other hand, the client can source memes as well. “Clients can bring memes they've found online that express how they’re feeling or what they’re going through.”

    And sometimes, therapists and their clients can work together to create memes. “This creative process can help externalize emotions and promote self-awareness in a non-threatening, humorous way,” Dr. Jaeger says. “When used thoughtfully, memes can help ease into difficult topics, build rapport, and encourage reflection in a way that feels approachable.”

    We also asked the experts why it’s so important for people to feel comfortable discussing their mental health struggles, even if they need memes to do so.

    “‘A unicycle, car or horse… All that matters is getting there.’ Memes have become part of our world's language and how we communicate,” Matt says. “Millennials and Gen Alphas have and will continue to use this artform as a way to relate and connect with one another. Forming connections and normalizing the human experience is essential for someone's mental health."

    “For example, take someone who is feeling depressed and they see this meme,” Matt continued. “It is so funny and relatable that they decide to share it with a friend, loved one, or even their therapist.”

    “Now that feeling of sadness has also become a moment of connection, understanding and even laughter that is shared between people. The meme has become a conduit for that person to engage with their world where the moment before they may not have wanted to even be in it,” the therapist says.

    I’ve been gently told—repeatedly—to keep my thought process to myself. Apparently, it’s “weird,” “hard to follow,” or, my favorite, “mildly alarming.” But honestly, what do you expect when my brain is basically a mosh pit full of bunnies? Not even metaphorical bunnies—just actual bunnies, hyped on espresso, screaming half-baked ideas and occasionally forming a pyramid for no reason.

    Dr. Jaeger noted that it’s essential for people to feel safe and comfortable discussing their mental health because silence often leads to isolation, misunderstanding, and shame. “When someone can’t find the words to explain what they’re experiencing, they might shut down—or worse, believe they’re the only one feeling that way,” she explained.

    Delivery apps and credit cards are the single most dangerous combination for depressed people. I should not have the ability to order "appetizer sampler platters" delivered to my nest when I'm in a bad way. I have had three deliveries in one day before, ordered a taco bell "party pack" for just me, double dashed sushi and milkshakes, delivery driver doesn't know that the large pizza with 2L soda is just for me... If no one is watching and I don't have to pay till next month, I eat like a ten year old in a fever dream.

    “Memes can act as a first step toward opening up. They can normalize difficult feelings and remind people that others go through similar experiences,” she continued. “Sometimes, seeing a meme that ‘gets you’ can be more validating than hearing a clinical explanation. If it takes a meme to get someone talking about their anxiety, burnout, or ADHD symptoms, that’s still progress—and it’s incredibly valuable.”

    Psychologist here. It happens to almost EVERYONE who has ever taken a psychology class or who has read a single article on psychology. Everyone diagnoses themselves, their families, their friends, their friends' significant others, their co-workers, their co-workers' significant others, anyone who walks by, and DEFINITELY anyone who has ever read and responded to an AITA article. It's a phase and it will eventually die away when you realise how difficult it is to diagnose someone well enough that you have to stand up in court and defend it.

    The truth is that everyone has *some* attributes of many disorders. I don't have ADHD, but if you followed me around for a while you'd sure think I did. Same for a half-dozen others. The only one they've ever been able to successfully pin on me with clinical confirmation is depression - and I'm ignoring it so it doesn't count.

    “Memes create a sense of Common Humanity,” Matt added. “Common Humanity is a central tenet of Mindful Self Compassion as a therapeutic intervention. And anytime we can feel that, it has been shown to lower cortisol (the stress hormone) levels and increase feelings of self compassion (which is a naturally occurring analgesic to suffering).”

    “Using humor can help us reach people who might not ever otherwise share their feelings with others,” he shared. “Therapy does not need to be a mystical process. We can take the topic of mental health very seriously while also not taking ourselves so seriously.”

    Finally, Dr. Jaeger added, “Memes might seem lighthearted or even silly on the surface, but they can play a surprisingly meaningful role in mental health awareness and therapy. They speak the language of the internet generation—accessible, relatable, and often brutally honest. When used creatively and intentionally, they can help people feel seen, spark helpful conversations, and even encourage self-reflection.”

    I have been seen as particularly self aware throughout most of my life. However, this seems to confer that I should adhere to a higher emotional standard in 'everything', than other people. My parents separated when I was 6 and I wound up with a bāstard of an abūsive step father. Apparently, my self-awareness should have made me able to rise above this. Guess what....

    However, it’s worth keeping in mind that, while memes can point to shared experiences or even help someone recognize a pattern in their behavior, they don’t tell the full story. “They’re not diagnostic tools, and sometimes what resonates might just be a piece of a much more complex puzzle,” Dr. Jaeger told Bored Panda. “Used alongside—not in place of—professional support, memes can absolutely enrich the therapeutic process.”

    Most of the people I know who have a "mental illness" use that condition as an excuse to treat others badly, or to do the bare minimum that is expected of them at work or at life. They revel in their affliction. I've known very few who have honestly put in the hard work to try and make a better life. A close relative refused medication or counseling and committed s*****e after years of dragging people down with him. It is very unfair.

    My ex and I were going through a terrible time and one night he went out, making me very upset. As he walked out the door, he said something hilarious. The picture above was me trying not to laugh in spite of my fury. Now that he's gone for good, I giggle whenever I think about it.

    When I was younger I had some older friends who did this every time I met up with them, and I got into the habit of watching for lines of conversation that were lyrics to a song. It's a hard habit to break, especially as I've gotten older and younger people don't know the songs I know. When I worked in a forensic psychiatric facility I taught a music class on rap music, and you might (or might not) be surprised at the lyrics that pop into my head at times when I hear a phrase here or there, the majority of them that I can't say out loud but inwardly chuckle at.
