I mean, Absurdism can (to a degree) take you from depressed to content. It obviously can’t help with the actual chemical imbalance sort of depression that drugs can fix, but it sure can help with that good ol’ existential dread.

It’s been a staple of my mental health for decades, though the drugs certainly help. SSRI’s for me, but whatever works for you.

TLDR: Absurdism is good and drugs are good too.
