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.
Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly
Of all professions, psychiatrists seem to get into the most trouble. I have been collecting stories about psychiatric screwups for a while. Sadly, it has been disgustingly easy to do. We post stories with links to the original sources. We couldn't make this stuff up if we wanted to. My Name is Sickmind Fraud.
