	As the Ship ''psychiatrist'', you can prescribe a number of anti-depressants, sedatives, painkillers, and other pharmaceutical drugs in order to help your patient in recovery from various disorders, trauma, and other such mental illnesses.

	So let's face it... not every patient you treat is going to be coming into your office ready to talk politely about their problems.

	Hallucinations can be caused by drugs, poisons, and radiation. You'll see them on a large scale if the supermatter goes critical, and on a small scale if the [[~~botanist~~]] or [[~~chemist~~]] has been producing recreational substances. Additionally, some medication withdrawals can cause hallucinations, meaning you should keep an eye on those with prescriptions. People who are hallucinating will see things, hear things, and sometimes believe things that aren't actually there.		Hallucinations can be caused by drugs, poisons, and radiation.

People who are hallucinating will see things, hear things, and sometimes believe things that aren't actually there.

	You will also deal with severe mental illness and trauma, including everything from the effects of having found out that one has nearly died to the garden-variety schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety every psychologist encounters. Most of the time, people who are mentally ill are not violent. Some people who are hallucinating due to drugs or radiation--especially if they've experienced it before--will know that they're hallucinating and try to stay safe. But it's entirely possible that a patient with psychosis will throw a punch at you, believing you are trying to harm them. Your main goal when dealing with a hallucinating patient is to keep them safe until the hallucinations wear off, or the doctors can treat them for whatever is causing the hallucinations.

	* ~~Chloral hydrate~~. This is a very strong sedative that causes overdose starting at only 15 units, but its strength means it can be put into an autoinjector and be effective at stopping anyone without armor on (ask the ~~chemist~~ to make you one). Once the chloral hydrate has taken effect, the patient can be more easily restrained, and its effects can be reversed with Dylovene.		* Polysomnine.

	You may also encounter insanity in the form of a [[cult]]. As a psychologist, you don't know anything about the cult itself, but you will probably come to realize that they are suffering from mental impairment unlike any you've seen before--personalities altered, motives changed, and morals turned upside down to the point that a pacifist may become a killer and a usually joyful person may become a near-suicidal nihilist. How you respond to this strange new type of psychosis is up to you--remember who your character is. But your duty as a psychologist remains the same: Criminal or not, violent or not, you treat mental illness and aid those who suffer from it. Until you see obvious evidence of the supernatural (and perhaps not even then), a cult member may seem like just another patient to you. Of course, since cults are often violent, you will likely be working with Security and using restraints. Remember to stay safe, because if you're dead, you can't do your job.
