What you are describing seems similar to Szasz's ideas of mental illness (, but please correct me if I am wrong).[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_S

  Thank you for the link, I've never heard about Szaz before. But I must say that I agree with many points he makes although I disagree with some. In my naive view (this is not my profession) many persons that are just to some degree different are labeled as mentally ill and medicated starting with children that aren't docile enough. Psychiatry surely has its uses helping people to improve and overcome fears / tragic events or to evaluate if someone can be dangerous but it can't be right to forcefully medicate everyone that doesn't fit our society into submission.
