There are many ways to respond if you think someone you know might have depression. And this definitely isn’t one of them.

Over on Twitter, @KellieCyorks went viral after she shared this ‘anti-depression kit’ which is so bad people didn’t know where to start.

Kellie said she’d headbutt anyone who gave it to her and this is why.

I recall watching a tv show where Vincent van Gogh was described as “wasn’t a happy bunny”. Jo Brand interjected “I know I’m supposed to be adding the humour here, but we should accept that suffering mental illness is not just being an unhappy bunny”
