A head doctor who gets paid to judge you. They love to make psycho babble comments to get you riled, then defend themselves with more psycho babble to make themselves sound more intelligent than they actually are. They like to afix imaginary disorders to people so they can write prescriptions for unnessesary meds.

I didn't believe the psychiatrist at first when he said that the electroconvulsive therapy would relieve grandma's long-standing depression. But I must say, we're extremely happy to have her back to her old self.

A modern-day version of a witch-hunter. In medieval times they used to burn recluses or anyone else they considered 'different' for being witches, werewolves or vampires. These days we have psychiatrists to put away people who are just trying to get on with their lives. They seem hell-bent on handing out drugs like they're sweets, probably because they have shares in the drug companies. Psychiatrists also make a fortune by finding excuses for thugs, murderers, rapists and thieves.
After a psychiatrist poked his nose into the case, a child-molester walked free today, free to carry out more heinous crimes. All because some white-coated confidence trickster, pound signs lighting up in his fish-like eyes, claimed the pervert's father wouldn't buy him a train set as a child and so he had been psychologically scarred.

A crazy, neurotic, drug dealing asshole that bitches about his taxes all day long, and then sits his coward ass back in his little office, and drugs people into disability.
psychiatrist: ok, here's some meds to get you sleeping at night and help your anxiety, so you can go back to work, and get off this 'cycle of dependency'.

With the fall of the poppy came psychiatry, and because death needs a hand, so came the psychiatrist.

A doctor who prescribes medication in hopes that their patients' lives will improve. While prescription medications do help in most cases, they will NOT improve your life dramatically.
Psychiatry should not be confused with psychotherapy, which is a process in which you talk to a "licensed" psychotherapist about your personal problems.
Neither of these methods are effective for major depression -- suicide is your best option!
