Urban Drug Dealer

Definition

A psychiatrist who treats therapy like a pharmaceutical vending machine—minimal assessment, maximum prescription refills. It's the medical version of 'here's your fix, see you next month,' minus the actual medical care component.

Example Usage

My psychiatrist barely asked how I was doing before renewing my prescription; he's basically an urban drug dealer at this point.
