Line 342:
* Both ''[[Old World of Darkness]]'' and ''[[New World of Darkness]]'' are Earth, so there are therapists. However...
** Vampires in either setting can't see a shrink without breaking The [[Masquerade]] unless they are ''extraordinarily'' careful, nor can they take antidepressants because drugs don't affect the undead, so insane vampires (and eventually, they're all at least slightly insane) are screwed.
*** Actually, you ''can'' see a shrink without breaking the Masquerade, if the shrink is on the list of people who are allowed to know about vampires. Granted, the process of ghouling a human generally renders them useless for objective judgement, but has no one ever Embraced a psychiatrist? Ever?
*** This was part of a [[Hand Wave]] in the original ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' to keep people from tampering with the Malkavians, who more or less run on crazy, mystically speaking.
*** In ''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]'' (and maybe other nWoD products) it's also a way of enforcing Derangements for those with low [[Karma Meter]]s.
