Isiah Friedlander

"You're plainly addicted to chaos."

- Isiah Friedlander to Michael.

Dr. Isiah Friedlander is a character in GTA V.

Background
Isiah Friedlander is Michael's therapist. He sees him once a week. He also has a popular practice on the Pacific Bluffs coastline.

Dr. Friedlander is potrayed as an over the top version of a "Hollywood" psychotherapist. He's overpriced (As seen in an email where he's raises his rates a reasonable 75%) and seems not to actually care about his patients. In cutscenes he's seen looking at his watch waiting for the session time to expire. He is also not concerned much about Michael's behavior as the latter confesses that he is able to kill without remorse and may have killed someone on the way to Isiah's home, which doesn't faze the therapist in the slightest.

Dr. Friedlander also appears in the mission "Reunitng the Family" in which he listens to Amanda and Micheal argue about their relationship but makes no effort to intervene in any way.

Later in the game (in an optional visit), he tells Michael that he is leaving Los Santos and has gotten his own T.V. show. He then informs Michael that he needs to find a new therapist and implies that he's going to be using Michael's case in his show. Angry, Michael chases after Friedlander. Michael then has the choice to kill him or let him go.

If he is let go, a news feed a few days later will state that he has been murdered following his rise to prominence.
