"Laughter -- it's one of the healthiest things we have, and if you can make somebody smile, that brings another kind of an entity out of a person," she told "Good Morning America" during an interview at a Saks Fifth Avenue Foundation event to support mental health awareness.

Warwick also emphasized the importance of offering support to one another.

"There's something that can be done about mental illness and it takes all of us to do that," Warwick said in an additional statement. "All we have to do is care, truly care, and always try to make people smile. In the fight against mental illness, we need to be of service to our neighbors, our children, our friends and to our enemies too. Most importantly, just remember that we all can make a difference."
