Jokes for the depressed

Man: “Doctor I am feeling depressed, life seems unbearable, I can not find pleasure in anything any more, I am afraid I will do something drastic”

Doctor: “usually I would prescribe you Anti-depressants, but you are in luck, the Russian State Circus is in town, and they have Povlov the Great, the funiest man alive! If you see him you can not but feel reborn and happy again…Trust me”

Man(starts crying): “but Doctor, I am the Povlov the Great!”


After a life of nothing but disappointments, I was sure the worse was yet to come!

Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline.
If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly.
If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2.
If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6.
If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay on the line so we can trace the call.
If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press.
If you are depressed, it doesn’t matter which number you press. No one will answer.

A bunch of guys are sitting in the waiting room of a psychiatric hospital. One guy turns to his neighbor and says, “Hi, I’m Napoleon.”
