When family humor becomes a barrier to addressing mental health concerns

My family has always used humor to deflect serious conversations about health and now that Dad's depression is getting worse our old pattern of joking everything away feels harmful but we don't know any other way to be together without falling apart.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The family's comedic armor has become a prison, protecting them from connection as much as from pain.
