Not if you're in a deep depression. If you've been diagnosed with depression but you are having a 'good' day then yes, you can laugh at jokes.

Yes you can, but depending on your mood, sometimes you just don't feel like hearing funny stuff. So when someone does tell a joke it irritates you more then it lifts you up. If your struggeling with depression, you should see a pshyciatrist about an anti-depresent to help you over come those symptoms.

Of course, you're not dead. Jokes are funny, so you laugh.
Actually laughing may be good for the depressed, studies show it releases positive brain chemicals.

Of course, however it depends how far you want to take it. If you think that it is funny, but you don't want to laugh, just smile about it. Judt because you're depressed it doesn't mean that you can be smiling all the time. Try it.

If they are funny, sure. However, be sensitive. If someone is moody and has a bad day, then by all means try to cheer him up. However, if someone has clinical depression, knows that he has depression and knows that you know that he has depression, don't go around trying to get them to snap out of it by constantly telling jokes. Bouts of levity is good, yes. But constantly telling jokes may make him feel that you are just telling him to snap out of it. He or she can't just snap out of it and doesn't need someone making light of his or her condition. So just be aware and be sensitive.
