Josh Lesnick! Just realised, I think Dr. Voluptua means to be a Psychologist, not a psychiatrist! "Psychiatrists" treat mental illness by identifying a cause, and prescribing medication. "Psychologists" on the other hand, treat mental illness with therapy

Actually you are right! Though this distinction seems to be disregarded in many forms of comics and other entertainment. Like how a lot of guys doing psychology work were considered psychiatrists in all those Far Side cartoons. "Psychiatrist" is just a sexier word, I guess.


And truth be told, in all honesty, Doctor V doesn't really do either of those things, she'll diagnose the problem, then it's off to whatever crazy, completely non-medical way there is to solve it.
