Is psychiatry fundamentally against diversity?

The human race is very diverse at a genetic level. It is even more
diverse in the different types of people that live on this Earth,
created by environmental factors such as upbringing. This is, in my
opinion, the richness of the human race: its diversity.

There is a theory of genotypes and phenotypes which I'm getting my head
around. People are born of a certain genetic type (which is akin to a
predisposition but is best considered as a type because the schizotaxia
type can predispose to many things) and they become what they are
through their life experiences.

Some people of the schizotaxia type may end up as artists or scientists,
others may end up with schizophrenia or bipolar. Psychiatrists mark the
dividing line and they fear the creation of severely mentally ill
people. At the moment there is little they can do but there are moves to
change this such as the introduction of pre-pathological syndrome
diagnoses in the new US diagnostic criteria (and the World Health
Organisation will eventually follow).

These are all measures which reduced the diversity of the human race. A
large element of what mental illnesses are is a form of control of
"social ugliness"
(http://imaginendless.blogspot.com/2010/04/social-ugliness-or-mental-illness.html).
There are certain phenotypes that are undesireable. They become more
excluded and impoverished as civilisation 'advanced' which is how
psychiatry came about. They are still part of the human race however
they are not afforded the same rights as acceptable phenotypes,
phenotypes which may share the same genotypes as the unacceptable
phenotypes. Psychiatry takes away the expression of the phenotype. It
removes the behaviours and emotions from these poor souls.

Another way to explain this is to consider a depressed person. A
depressed person is part of the human race and their phenotype has been
around since civilisation began. A depressed person should be allowed to
be unhappy if they want to be (I know, this is where i get
dis-compassionate and am also avoiding considerations of mental
capacity) because they are part of the human race. They have as much of
a right to exist as they are as Eeyore the gloomy donkey in the Winnie
the Pooh stories. A psychiatrist would drug that donkey. In so doing
they would remove that type of donkey from the Winnie the Pooh stories.

Psychiatry is also fundamentally pathological: it looks for what is
wrong with a person rather than what is right or what the interplay is
between 'wrongness' and 'rightness'. This reduces the diversity of the
human race. I could ramble on longer on this but this quote from Ernest
Hemingway says what I'm trying to say better.

"
"Well, what is the sense of ruining my head and erasing my memory, which
is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure
but we lost the patient."
Ernest Hemingway, Nobel Prize-winning author who killed himself after
complaining that psychiatric electric shocks had ruined his career by
destroying his memory.
