A member asked:

Is laughter therapy real? does it help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Attitude: There is no medical effect from "laughter therapy." it's still a good idea, though, because learning to laugh despite the worst of problems gives you the proper attitude: every day that we are alive on this earth is a precious gift, and it is to be enjoyed. Count your blessings. Laugh like you mean it.
