'''[http://lvl30psy.thecomicseries.com/ Level 30 Psychiatry]''' is a webcomic hosted on [[Comic Fury]] that asks "Have you ever noticed how insane video game characters are?" quickly followed by "What if they had a scrap of common sense and got proffesional help?"
 
The titular practice is run by Dr. Gardevoir, a [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (Video Game)|Gardevoir]] who has somehow ''"broken through the language barrier"'' to help those who have lost thier minds (or never had them in the first place) to reintergrate into society. Other main characters include [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Roll]] the head of the MM Hospital and Gardevoir's friend, Head Nurse Chansey who has to deal with the psysical problems and [[Space Quest|former galactic hero and bumbling janitor Roger Wilco]].
 
Updates Friday/Saturday.

* [[Species Surname]]: Dr. Gardevoir appears to be this, under typical naming conventions.
Line 41:
* [[Split Personality]]: Gardevoir has one in a mini-arc, Another Side. It seems the other side of her personality, Glasses Gardevoir, is an embodiment of her more collected and "want to be a better doctor" side, as the she is always level-headed and examining Gardevoir's problems. Gardevoir is the only one who can see or hear her.
* [[Standard Status Conditions]]: Chansey has to deal with some [http://lvl30psy.thecomicseries.com/comics/13/ pretty unstandard conditions.]
