When a card makes me discard, does the discarded card's effect still apply?
The Discarding and Professor Henry Armitage sections state the rule and its exceptions directly.

It depends on why you discarded. If you discard on your own turn (including the second discard from Mi-Go or Golden Mead), you apply the effect even if it is bad for you. If you are forced to discard your hand by Professor Henry Armitage or Mi-Go's Sane effect, if you are knocked out of the round, or if the card is revealed in a Sanity Check, the effect does not apply. The Necronomicon and Cthulhu still take effect when Armitage forces the discard.
