This text does not deal with a new psychiatry or a manifesto of breakup with the current approach to mental disorders. Rather, it seeks to emphasize the systematic detachment from the genuine of the individual, by a coarse, imprecise, but at the same time implacable, procedure characteristic of the prevailing medical psychiatry. I question whether this approach to existential suffering does not, on the contrary, contribute to the chronicling of such suffering by forcing the subject to identify himself, without option, to a passive position that places him as mentally ill. From the viewpoint of a psychiatrist to the use, evident contradictions are highlighted, both in theory and in practice, and the core of the stubborn clinging to them is investigated.
