Hi Pln, Answering your questions.
1 Is this serious advice or just light-hearted? For me, they are a little of both of them. 2 Do you agree that to be happy you just need to 'change your mind'? I believe that these advices really help people to change their moods, but it's sometimes hard to do. It's not easy to give a smile when things are really bad, but training these things as many as possible, we can teach our brain to heal itself faster. 3 Could the tips mentioned previously help someone who is seriously depressed? Are any helpful? In that case, I think this person would need specialized treatment. 4 Have you ever had to help a friend who was depressed? Fortunately, none of my close friends or relatives got depressed. Since that I know. By the way, I've never heard about these syndromes. Could you tell us something about them?
