Depression..

There's this comedian actor that i watched daily, he's freakin great when it comes to cracking a joke, even an old person laughed hard because of his humor. But one day i did not saw him in that show then the days past by and it took a week then he came back. I searched for him, then i read an article that he has been suffering from depression, i can't believe it because he always smile, laughed and he has all the humor that a comedian has. Now i understand that even you are a happy person when depression hits you it can kill you slowly. Upon searching, i saw that using www.growingmarijuanablog.com/marijuana-syndrome/ can help reduce the depression. I don't know if that thing works. But i want to suggest it to that Comedian-actor maybe it will help him right? Does anybody try it before for depression?
