Psychiatrist

A psychiatrist is a professional in the medical industry who studies and practices the science of psychiatry. They specialize in treating mental disorders and are legally allowed to prescribe medical treatment and conduct medical examinations. In short, they are there to listen and interpret the verbal diaper drippings of the whack-a-doo.

As the drama genre is replete with mentally deficient individuals (not just characters, but industry professionals as well), there is no shortage of shrinks making themselves available to take care of them.

On the TV series Poltergeist: The Legacy, the character of Rachel Corrigan was a psychiatrist, as well as a member of The Legacy.

The Netflix original streaming video series Hemlock Grove had a character named Norman Godfrey, who was a psychiatrist. One of his patients was named Francis Pullman, who had the misfortune of witnessing Christina Wendall transform into a rogue werewolf known as a vargulf.
