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!
After visiting a psychiatrist:

Wellbutrin XL -- take one 300 mg tablet in the morning

Seroquel -- take one 100 mg tablet before bedtime

THESE MEDICATIONS DON'T SEEM TO BE HELPING ASSHOLE!!!

Get the psychiatrist mug.
A process in which you discuss your personal problems with a "psychotherapist\" who is unable to do anything about it. Not to be confused with psychiatry, in which you're given prescription medications in hope that your life improves.
Don't pay attention to anything you hear about psychotherapy -- IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
