Andy Richter decided to call out a Twitter troll after their insensitive remark regarding depression. He handles the glaring display of ignorance in glorious fashion. Saying "cheer up" to someone living with depression is on par with telling a person who has asthma to "just breathe."

Twitter user @aleeyaderige, shared a powerful thread on how to help a loved one who's dealing with depression. She touches on many of the painful ins and outs of living with depression, and her thread went viral because of how many grateful people connected with what she'd written.
Twitter User @dizzysinclair, started up a thread on those meals people turn to when the depression hits. The answers ended up being quite relatable to many folks out there. We've got sugary feasts like a big old bag of brown sugar; we've got sleep; we've got peanut butter jars. You name it, it's probably on here. Sometimes a soul sick with sadness just needs to get lost in an abyss of sugar and fried foods.
This woman's Twitter thread shows us that you don't need any art skills to drive home a relatable point about how grief can touch all our lives at some point; and how you can deal with it, when it does. Her explanation made waves in the Twitterverse, and touched a lot of people. Not surprised!
Earlier this week some profoundly crazed and insensitive individual tried to float the idea that depression is a choice....days later, Andy Richter stepped up to offer the most impressively thoughtful and brutal response to such a notion, we have yet to come across. Buckle up, and watch a master at work. We love you, Andy Richter!
