Psychiatry, a pseudo-science or "proto-science" defined as spontaneous generation theory for mental disorders, can and will evolve into what I call "executive health", that studies the interplay between external mediation systems - government - and human executive function. Psychiatry has been the study of how to “heal the mind”, Greek ψυχή (psukhḗ, “soul”) and ἰατρεία (iatreía, “healing, medical treatment”), from ἰατρός (iatrós, “healer”, “doctor”), it has focused on the memetic information in the brain, but ignored the vector that causes a diseased mind and that disturbs meme function: coercive government. To heal the mind, the executive control systems have to be healed, by removing the pathogen that impairs it, coercive government. The cult and pseudo-science Psychiatry has twisted mental health science to appease the status quo, and falls under the broad umbrella term "statism", and the subcategory "scientism" (pseudo-science biased to status quo. ) The overall reason the executive component has been ignored in mental health is because humans are biased to pecking orders, and tend to not always stand up against the dominance order.
