Bhagavad Gita.

all of them

or perhaps none of them

>>5075435
thus spoke Zarathustra

IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED & SUICIDAL, YOU NEED PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY, NOT A BOOK.

>>5075435
Why don't you just kill yourself already; thereby, you stop bitching about it anons on 4chan?

>>5075436
Why?
>>5075440
What type of psychological therapy

>>5075441
are you the same guy who misused a semicolon in the other thread? if so you should stop using semicolons

>>5075446
learn2grammar, you mongoloid.

>>5075446
He probably is, Anon. Don't worry, you can be depressed with me in the /r9k/ chart thread.

>>5075444

HOW WOULD I KNOW? GO SEE A PSYCHOLOGIST –NOT A PSYCHIATRIST– "POSER".

>>5075448
at least im not the one who thinks randomly throwing in semicolons makes your writing look more sophisticated dummy

>>5075453
Why not a psychiatrist? Psychologists are perhaps the least capable of truly helping someone in need. They are egotistical, manipulative, and will use you as a platform to boost their own self-worth while they are looking down on you. A psychologist really isn't any better than an "armchair" psychologist.

You're not going to "find answers" in a book because depression isn't a problem. Depressive thoughts are the result of misusing/abusing language and trying to twist it to do things it can't do. You can do two things: one is to nitpick your thoughts and find out why they're flawed and, in a strict, logical sense, meaningless/senseless; the other is to stop thinking (those thoughts). The latter is easier, but the former is more satisfying.

PSYCHIATRY IS A JEWISH SCAM.

>Psychologists are perhaps the least capable of truly helping someone in need. They are egotistical, manipulative, and will use you as a platform to boost their own self-worth while they are looking down on you.

NO; THOSE ARE THE PSYCHIATRISTS.

Excellent. I can hear the rustling of your jimmies, you retard.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

>>5075467
How is psychology not a Jewish scam when its founder was literally a manipulative Jew who infested western culture with his Freudian Jewish philosophy that aided in the Zionist agenda?

>>5075467
>NO; THOSE ARE THE PSYCHIATRISTS.
Psychiatrists actually go to medical school and their study is rooted in actual biological science, while psychology is modernist cultist bullshit that you can figure out on your own if you aren't mildly retarded and have an internet connection.

>>5075477

YOU ARE REFERRING TO PSYCHOANALYSIS.

>>5075474
I suggest you look up how to use a semicolon properly for your own edification

>>5075491
Which is what psychologists do. It's fucking psychology. It's the field of psychology. Psychiatry is actually scientific.

>>5075483
>Psychiatrists actually go to medical school and their study is rooted in actual biological science
It doesn't matter. Psychiatric theories of mental illness are so reductionist that they don't deserve to be taken seriously. They just shill pills that are indistinguishable from a placebo and charge $120 for a 30min meeting.

>>5075441
That's such a non reply. What's the point of even writing that? He's asking a question and you use it as a vehicle for your false apathy. Get a clue you transparent cunt.

>>5075497
And at least you get drugs to play around with. With psychology you don't get shit.

>>5075492
Yawn. It's past your bedtime, kiddo. I suggest you learn how to punctuate your sentences. It is about time you stop sucking on your mom's saggy tits.

>a thread full of basketcases trying to reason away a need for psychology

lol OK

>>5075501
>our false apathy
Nope. My apathy is not spurious.

I have a few psychologists in my family and they are the most selfish, manipulative narcissistic people I will ever, ever know. Of course they come off as caring people to most though.

>>5075444
Because the battle depicted in the book, or rather Arjuna's refusal to fight, is basically just an allegory on life in general and offers practical solution for overcoming one's lethargy.

>>5075506
But I do know how to punctuate. I just don't; it's fucking 4chan, faggot. (that's how they're used the right way, just so you know)

>>5075521
terrible damage control, m8. just stop...you're embarrassing yourself.

>>5075524
wow you didnt even capitalize, grammer much mate? do you even gramar? can you into grammae

must be easy to tell yourself name calling suffices as a response anyone will respect when you can't think of anything real

>>5075521

I would have used a double dash thing in that situation, personally.

Was just about to post this.
Do it, OP, I'd follow you if I could.

cognitive behavioural therapy

the institutional name for "stop being sad and start being happy"

I wish I was joking but it's got one of the best success rates.

read some of these, and feel better for having a life and still being able to do something with it:

Tolkien's stuff always puts me in a good mood; reading the Hobbit before an operation (after I mutilated one of my toes in a knife accident), was pretty nice and in my opinion a nice way of escaping from our mortality
