  1. I always laugh and cringe at the same time when I hear psychiatrists diagnosing various artists post-posthumously. Van Gogh would be one of the examples. How many of these people would have never contributed in their very special way to our collective culture if they were labelled and drugged from the get go? Psychiatry would make everyone a well-adjusted drone, nothing more, nothing less.
