A Fan Asked Dan Harmon For Advice On Depression. His Response Was Beautiful.

 

Dan Harmon delivered for a fan who asked for tips on dealing with depression.

The “Rick and Morty” co-creator crafted four thought-provoking tweets after a Twitter user asked him on Tuesday for advice about coping with the condition.
