You should definitely watch School Days, or Grave of The Fireflies. Best two animes of all time to watch while your depressed or feeling down.  8)

Grave of the Fireflies tells a very sad story and probably won't cheer you up.  School Days is debatable I guess.

For strictly comedies I recommend:
Excel Saga
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru
K-ON!

Depressed? Nothing spells anime therapy like Aria (all 3 seasons + OVA). It's probably going to be incredibly boring for you if you don't like slice-of-life anime, though.

inb4 School Days.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Great Teacher Onizuka yet...
It's the funniest and most epic anime ever created.*
Sure to warm up the most melancholic of hearts...   ;D

Midori no Hibi is another good one. Absolutely hilarious and bizarre.
Don't be turned off by the series description.
Trust me, just watch it!

these only cheer you up if you want to be cheered up by realizing someone is a sadder/more depressing life than you are

Lol sounds like he's already experienced the School Days.

I personally loved these animes and feel like that the comedy is pretty good to get you in a good mood.

Maburaho
Karin
Chobits
Also +1 on K-On!

lol, That's what FML is for.  :D (I love that site)

But to give a more serious reply to the OP's request i give a +1 for K-ON. I also give a +1 for Azumanga Daioh. I haven't seen it yet but from watching a couple Youtube clips of it and reading some reviews it's been bumped up on my To Watch list (starting it right after i finish Ergo Proxy). It's absolutely hilarious from what Ive seen (especially since Ive been feeling shitty lately myself). I find a good laugh is always the thing for when I'm feeling down.  8)

But it works nevertheless :).
Recently, I have watched Red Garden as a cure for depression.

After watching Bokurano your life will be brilliant.
