Asking for help with depression through humor.
“Being funny isn’t the same as being happy,” writes
The Simpsons writer Dana Gould, reflecting on the life of his close friend Robin Williams and how he struggled with comedy and depression.

Kehlani recently teamed up with Pink Sweat$ on the remix to “At My Worst,” and has even more collaborations in the works.
