But I thought PCP was angel dust…

In the psych-world lingua franca, PCP is “primary care physician.” Apparently, PCPs are more vulnerable to pharmaceutical companies trying to woo them into prescribing certain drugs for bipolar disorder. You know why? Because PCPs don’t know shit about psychiatric illnesses. That’s why we have psychiatrists, and that’s who you should see if you’ve got bipolar disorder—not Marcus Welby. (Oh my God. I’m so old. Does anyone even remember Marcus Welby? How about John Dorian? That’s better.)
