Psychiatry and the police state vs. Aristotle on being a person

Aristotle:

All persons by nature desire to make sense of their experience, and the evidence of this is the delight we take in our senses.

(Opening sentence of the Metaphysics, translation modified).

Psychiatry in service of the police state:

Some persons by nature (such as genetically) are maladapted and so inclined to be deviant, and the evidence for this is that experts of social management, who are tasked with the control, treatment, salvation/cure or damnation and exclusion from “society” of such persons, identify them as having one of the syndromes of socially unacceptable ways of thinking and feeling that are identified in the diagnostic and statistical manual of such deviances. These people, who essentially cannot be cured, must be controlled or eliminated.

Aristotle believed in the good life. Psychiatry believes in security, as protection against illnesses that pose risks. It produces not happy people, but a management of a life condemned to sadness. People's potentialities are for it only negative ones: to commit a crime, or to be a victim of one (these are treated as the same thing, which is not moral fault but being at-risk).

I believe in art, not therapy, not the police, not religion or "spirituality," not management or governance. Art is a set of objects and processes of thinking. The good life depends on it.
