Brief Summary:
Clinical study in psychiatry in young adult patients between 18 and 25 years old The aim of the study is to evaluate the therapeutic impact of the clinical use of humor through 6 group sessions group of 5 to 10 patients at the rate of one hour session per week for 6 weeks
The investigators will form 2 groups of 5 to 10 patients matched in terms of gender education level and score on a scale measuring their sense of humor The participants will be asked to complete a series of tests measuring their ability to use humor psychiatric symptoms and well-being
Group 1 test group will participate in the humor-based sessions while Group 2 control group will receive regular treatment for 6 weeks waiting list patients in Group 2 will attend humor-based sessions once Group 1 has completed their 6 weeks
At the end of the 6-week sessions both groups will receive the same series of pre-session tests to see whether or not there has been improvement in their overall functioning psychiatric symptomatology and appreciationuse of humor
At the end of the 2x 6-week sessions group 2 will again receive this series of pre-session tests to see whether or not their overall functioning psychiatric symptomatology and appreciationuse of humour has improved

Detailed Description:
Project design and procedures
The investigators will form 2 groups of 5 to 10 patients matched on their score on the sense of humor scale their gender and their level of education The participants will be asked to complete a series of tests measuring their ability to use humor clinical variables and general functioning
Group 1 - experimental - will participate in a humor group with a one-hour group session per week for 6 weeks
Group 2 - the control group - will follow a usual treatment regimen for 6 weeks At the end of the Humor Group of group 1 the 2 groups of patients will undergo a second series of tests identical to those of the pregroup The paired patients should be randomly assigned The control group will do the Humor Group after 6 weeks
