4 hours discussion, Krishanamurti between psychiatrist, biologist and theoretical physicists about roots of psychological disorders, psychological suffering, the need for security and what is a healthy mind. 

These videos can provide great information about mechanism of ego, suffering and living effortlessly. Great stuff! Highly recommend!

@James123 ❤ yes these are gems absolutely and he sums it up nicely at the end of the very first video.

Psychologist: So it all comes down to security, but can the individual find that security.

Krishnamurti: No, the individual can never find that security.

@mandyjw I think you are absolutely right about not shaming people. Most folks go through some form of mental health challenge during their lifetime, and given the right environment those experiences can be a source of growth. I’d encourage people to be sensitive towards those who are a bit down or acting weird. 

On the other hand, people who are on the very tough end of the spectrum need to realise that their primary form of aid is likely to come from professionals. Spirituality is great, but some people get lost in it, or expect unrealistic results from it.
