<p>For Mythos Cards (Page 16):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>After playing a Mythos card, the keeper discards it to a faceup pile 
  adjacent to the Mythos deck. If the Mythos deck runs out of cards, this 
  discard pile is shuffled to create a new Mythos deck.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>For Trauma Cards (Page 25):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Each investigator may have a maximum of one injury and one 
  insanity at any given time. If he receives a second card of the 
  same type, the original card is discarded first.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Additionally, some injuries/insanities say discard immediately.</p>

<p>Under Component Limitations (Page 25):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Decks of Cards: If a deck of cards runs out, the players 
  shuffle the discard pile to create a new deck. The only 
  exception is the Event deck, which always ends the game after 
  the last card is drawn (as listed on the card).</p>
</blockquote>

<p>For Keeper actions (Page 10):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>During this step, the keeper may resolve any number of these 
  Keeper Action cards that he wishes (threat permitting). These 
  actions are resolved one at a time by spending (discarding) the 
  appropriate amount of threat (printed on the upper left corner of 
  the Keeper Action card)</p>
</blockquote>

<p>So Keeper Action cards don't get discarded ever, just the threat tokens. In fact, some keeper cards can be used multiple times in the same turn.</p>
