Psychiatrists are considered to be the most sought after personalities these days all the world over. They are being respected to everyone for their valuable suggestions. Here is an incident where two of them were engaged in a professional conversation.
First doctor to the second one: "Recently an old patient of mine has gone to you. What's been he suffering from?"
The Second Doc: "Which patient?"
The First Doc: "That Maths Prof, Mr. Roy.
S.D.: "Oh, that Mr. Roy? He also went to you?  He has come to me with a peculiar sort of problem. He's got a notion that he is not at all a Maths professor, rather a massion."
F.D.:  (with a little grin) "Fixed his prob?"
S.D.: "will be healed in right time. Before that I engage him in painting my house."
Now, the F.D. very seriously  revealed, "I too engaged him in the same way."
"You too painted your house?" asked the S.D.
"No, no, how could I ?" said the F.D., "When Mr . Roy was under my supervision he didn't feel himself a massion. He was a carpenter then. I made him engaged in repairing some of my old chairs and tables."

 Mental diseases are of different kind. Some one thinks that he is the God--the omnipotent. Another may think that he is Alexander or Hitlar.

In a room of a mental asylum there were two patients lying in beds next to each other. The first one thought him- self Alexander the Great. Often standing on his bed he started marching 'left right, left right' towards his India expedition. While the next one was completely indifferent. Shutting his eyes always he he seemed brooding over something. Always kept mum. Doctors could not find out what his real problem was. For any question asked he only said 'huh" or "hmm" .

When the Doctors left all hope to restore the condition of the second patient suddenly they found out the reason.
That day the doctors were asking questions to the first patient the Alexander. After some times that inevitable question was asked, "Who told that you are Alexander?" Usually the patient avoided that question everytime. But that day he suddenly he answered, "The God Himself."

No sooner had he finished answering than that second patient who still now was seemingly dozing off sprang to life and shouted, "Shut up!!! You liar, I've never told you that".

Now it was clear that the second one thought himself the God.
