What are some books that would unironically help someone with major depressive disorder that hasnt responded well to medication?
Asking for a friend not really
Will accept religious books as well, thoug ive read the NT and the Quran and was not impressed.

Zorba The Greek

The Myth of Sisyphus

Nietzsche is really good as well but there's a lot of other stuff going on there as well. Check out The Gay Science and Beyond Good & Evil.

Hope this helped Anon

That’s a superficial take. Claiming you’re “unable” and therefore a special human that’s more robots or spawn of a lizard-man from another dimension, is obviously absurd.

I’ve given the glass of water. It’s up to OP to drink.

Inability to feel joy or pleasure is a symptom of major depression.
It's also the most 'biochemical' one of the symptoms, so if you dont respond well to medication, youre fucked.

Right. I understand OP is “fucked”. So eat right, get the right chemical balance and heal thyself.
Good luck to him/you
