It seems pretty obvious. A doctor can't offer any solution to chronic problems of isolation and boredom, and won't do anything but to prescribe anti-depressants that will cure nothing.

If you learn to be mean and to stand for yourself, then people will have no choice but to somehow overlook such an handicap and they'll treat you like a normal human being.
