** This Troper actually finds it quite interesting how the InfoDump sessions are in part designed to remove stigma re mental health treatment. It's also interesting how there are slightly different diagnosis criteria between Japan and the US[[hottip:*:for example, most stuff that is noted as OCD in the various series is generally diagnosed as other types of anxiety disorders in the US; probably different standards between the DSM-V and the Japanese equivalent for psychiatric diagnoses]].

* [[TricksterMentor Trickster]]/[[StealthMentor Stealth]] Doctor: The closest one can come to describing Irabu. Half the time he drives his patients up the wall with his childish antics and hair-brained folk cures. The other half of the time he gives advice to the patients to take self-centered actions. All of this usually is intended for the patients to eventually reach an epiphany and help them help themselves.
