An Improvement in Psych Drugs?

Another psych joke, first seen here

Psychiatrist: I have good news. A new anti-depressant just hit the market. People are calling it a "miracle drug" so I'm going to prescribe it for you today.

Patient: Any side effects I should be aware of?

Psychiatrist: Subjects in the clinical trials did report a fair amount of weight gain.

Patient: Weight gain? Won't that make me more depressed?

Psychiatrist: Probably. That's why I'll also be prescribing a second pill which has been specifically designed to combat the depression caused by the first pill. It'll guarantee total and complete happiness.

Patient: What are the side effects for it?

Psychiatrist: Diarrhea. Horrible, non-stop diarrhea.
