premise: This morning was my appointment with the psychiatrist . And may I give Mike another little pat ? He had to get up at 4:25 a.m. yesterday to go into work early to accumulate hours for this day off , and then he stayed an hour and a half late , too , not getting home until 7:00 , and he 's going to have to do that twice more . That 's a high price he 's paying . Anyway , it was worth it . What 's a possible reason the writer has an appointment with a psychiatrist ?
hypothesis: Because the writer may give Mike another little pat .
