If you find yourself reading too many MAL reviews, visit the mental clinic!
This show is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. It's made entirely of gag humor, dirty jokes, puns, and is very sexual, but it does contain interesting information about different psychological conditions. The characters are full of energy and there's little to no plot, so it's enjoyable at almost any point. The art and sound aren't really anything to write home about, but they're digestible. Also, if you don't know Japanese, I suggest you watch with subtitles that translate the on-screen text and explain some of the wordplay jokes (I recommend Crunchyroll's subs). Otherwise, at least half the jokes won't land.
Personally, I liked it, but I'll watch just about anything with enough shitty jokes. If you don't en…

Meant to publish this review way back when in 2016....
An anime that's actually about mental disorders? Wow. Okay. ... This anime DOES explain how mental disorders work and how they can arise, but not exactly to a T on how they come (not everything happens the same way. NOTHING!!), with five minutes running time per episode. Comical Psychosomatic Medicine (CPM) also uses somewhat good humor. Not exactly SFW, but not exactly 100% appalling (well, depending on who you are and what exactly offends you. I won't get into that because everyone is offended by SOMETHING), taking mental illness seriously yet not being afraid to be funny about it. Like haha funny, not 'I'm uneasy' funny.

This thing is great fun! It is fast paced, it has some legitimate information about various conditions (it's no documentary though, it's just a bit of comedy!). There's limited character development, what you get instead are two regular hosts who act as your guide through each episode, they are likeable, and follow the typical 'chalk and cheese' format.
Overall if you have 5 minutes to spare and you want a laugh, and who knows, maybe you'll learn something about yourself or how to spot psychological changes in a friend or relative, this is a quick "dose" of medically based tomfoolery.
Some ecchi included, side effects include laughing and snorting, always read the label.

Outside of Avant-garde anime this has to be the weirdest anime I've ever seen. I've only seen 50 at the time of writing but I don't think this anime will be dethroned for a long time, if ever. The first episode starts with an uncomfortable medical subject - erectile disfunction, and the show does not relent in its ensuing episodes.
It's an educational show discussing many psychosomatic topics (psychology in usual western terms I suppose). The narrow cast of characters expands a little during the show, introducing many sisters of the main nurse/assistant you know, and creating small plotlines relating to the characters. These aid in explaining certain medical topics, or just giving a sense of story development overall.
The humour is pretty amusing in my opinion. Seems pretty stereotypical…

It was an anime to watch to enjoy in your free time. To summarize briefly; our main characters are a doctor, a perverted helper(?) and her older sister. In each episode they explain different psychological diseases.
If you are interested in psychological things, you can find reletable content. Explanations of diseases are simple and understandable, I didn't see a problem. Although the episodes are short, they are well explained. However, fan-service has increased a lot in some places, so it felt like exaggerated. Other than that, nothing to tell, it was funny and short. You can give it a shot.

For me, comedies aren’t generally my thing in the world of anime. Yet to say I am “not a fan of any comedy” would be an absolute lie. More specifically…I dislike (but have a few on my fav lists) the whole high school/miniskirt…essentially Harem/reverse harem+fan service can turn me off reaaallll quick.
So I wanted to SPECIFICALLY make this show my first review.
In relation to other shows this isn't the "best" BUT it is the best in terms of "slice of life", "comedy" (slapstick) and having less "poop" humor and more factual. I guess if you are a college student or even an adult in the psychology field this will be sort of philosophical take on some silly aspects to DSMV guidelines. (which of course is a reference but when seeking loopholes or taking it word for word it does sound ridiculou…

Comical Psychosomatic Medicine is a show that does very well at explaining a lot of the basics of these mental complications and presents it in an inviting, fun, and funny way that keeps the viewer engaged and the tone light. The characters all have their own special charm, and are kept consistent. The art is well made and looks clean and presentable to the viewer. The art only changes drastically for emphasis. The voice acting is very well done, and I never noticed it really break. There isn't a starting theme, on count of this being a five minute show, but the ending theme it has is pretty good. The theme wasn't particularly memorable, but it was nice to hear, musically. Nothing in this anime is particularly objectionable, and that's shown clearly in the enjoyment category. Now, this def…

Ever want to know about mental disorders?, did you want to have a large order of fanservice and comedy on the side?..well this is the best you get! The comical humor for this anime short ranges from "meta-ecchi" jokes, character jabs and just plain old pop culture references through puns or the references appearing in the meta sense, due to this your comedy WILL vary as it can quickly change from ecchi jokes to actually talking about mental disorders with some puns thrown in/character jabs. The runtime for each episode is 5 minutes long thus you can get through this anime short in no less than 2 hours. The characters are pretty typical of anime although wacky in their own quirky ways as well, such as Ryou who is the main exposition guy but isn't given the screentime due to the meta-fanserv…

"You know doctor, we've said "visit the mental clinic!" a lot in this anime!" - Asuna
Ahh, Comical Psychosomatic Medicine. This show was truly an underrated gem for the Spring 2015 season, and a real shame that not many people know about it. As a five minute and thirty second short that aired each week chock full of psychology tidbits and factoids with two main characters spitting lines out faster than the brain can process the first slide of the first scene, Comical Psychosomatic Medicine is definitely "out there".
While there's nothing in the way of a story, each episode is dedicated to a different malady, disorder, or mental illness such as pedophilia, schizophrenia, panic disorders, fetishism, social anxiety, stages of grieving, seasonal affective disorder, stalking, and more!

Hahahahahahaha!
This anime just crosses the line of comebacks!
The story is basically explaining psychological issues through anime cause you know what? Listening to a normal explanation is boring!
The anime series is full of tsukommis (comebacks) and is defiantly in the comedy genre.
It is very informative; in fact most of the facts stated in the series is reliable but for further in depth information it would be best to visit a psychological clinic!
None the less; I enjoyed watching this series and looked forward to each release.
I greatly HOPE that there is a sequel to this series!

I personally enjoyed this gag series! Each episode has a different "disorder" they talk about, and although you do learn some valuable information, it's honestly just 5 minutes of hilarious puns and innuendos that have no real purpose. The Psychiatrist Ryou is easily overshadowed by the Kangoshi sisters who act as his nurses throughout the episodes. Whether it's themselves or their grandfather, they're always causing trouble and miscommunication for the Doctor! Though each episode is only 5 minutes long, there are 20 episodes packed full of laughter. Once you start watching, it'll be hard for you not to sit through the whole season! I highly recommend this gag series if you're looking for something light and quick to watch between series. It's a great filler to pass the time when you just…

This anime was consistently hilarious.I wish it could have continued more as each episode is just 5 minutes long.Each episode tackles a different mental affliction, for example, voyeurism, depression, panic disorder and many others(after all, there are 20 episodes!).
It is one of the best 5 min anime's i have seen, along with Teekyu, Plastic Nee-san and Aiura.It is neither as crazy as Teekyu and Plastic Nee-san nor as normal as Aiura.All the characters are crazy, except perhaps the doctor himself, for whom you cant help but feel some pity for having to cope with the kind of people he has around him.
As for this anime being 'informative', you wont learn as much as other reviews say you will, but it still has quite a few things you might not have known before.
The comedy is the main stren…

Learning stuff while watching anime.........is that only a dream? Not anymore, this anime has realized that dream.
For me this is the 1st anime I have actually learnt anything from........that is after excluding life lessons from SoL anime and somethings about Japanese history.
The anime is pretty funny and most of the episodes (especially towards the end of the series) left me smiling.
The jokes seem to have a pattern though: most of the times settings are introduced and then suddenly twisted into a joke.......even so, they are enjoyable and 20 ep which are just 5 mins long are not enough to get you bored of that pattern.
The anime is short and enjoyable, so even if you want to just relax, you can watch this show.
So, what do we learn? The anime informs you about mental illnesses/stre…
