If Leeches Ate Peaches - one-shot radio drama/podcast
SayWhutson for Shrink
Put simply, Shrink is a shrink. We hear them over the phone a couple times to Annabelle, acting as her therapist. It is they who force Annabelle's hand into self-institutionalising, saying they are otherwise unable to keep refilling her medication prescription. They are relatively stern and serious, though easily slips into being patronising. This role can be played male or female.
I imagine them having a very sharp tone, taking no nonsense, and surprisingly unsympathetic.

(sternly) I don’t think you’re taking this very seriously.
(stern, low) I’m sending an ambulance. Don’t resist this time.
(patronising, impatient) Look, Annabelle, you’re a highly intelligent and talented young woman but you are also very, very sick. You need to be in a place where you can get better. I think that being under supervised care is exactly what you need right now.
