From the link above:
In their earlier work the researchers found that the anticipation of “mirthful laughter” had surprising and significant effects. Two hormones – beta-endorphins (the family of chemicals that alleviates depression) and human growth hormone (HGH; which helps with immunity) – increased by 27 and 87 percent respectively when volunteers anticipated watching a humorous video.

If you having these issues, pistol is all you need to resolve them. An example, if your having academic stress, go to your college and shoot up everyone and then kill yourself.

See you in Hell,
