Your psychiatrist runs a practice and you're mad that they are practicing rather than researching? That seems like an unrealistic expectation. If your doc was doing more research, then they probably wouldn't be practicing as much. It's like asking you to be a professional developer and do cutting edge CS research -- that's pretty rare.
Tracking nicotine vs your mood strikes me as being "research" -- especially since there wasn't a previously-known scientific correlation, as demonstrated by the recently-published results! Instead... I'd be glad that there is finally some evidence to explain your observations, and be hopeful that it results in new treatments.
(Also: Pawning off laziness onto others is a cop out. You could've pushed the research forward by doing more than just telling your doctor. But you didn't, I presume. Why is that...?)
