The ultimate symbol of Motivation and Power. First appearing in a mod for DMC5, a plastic chair is utilized as a seat by Vergil (The Storm that is approaching). It was popularized by social media, primarily by Youtube, where it became a meme in the DMC fandom. It is now an icon in gaming, just like Vergil.

When psychiatric care is directed toward individuals who feel and function in ways that were previously considered normal and healthy, but who themselves (and/or their relatives) perceive their condition as a mental illness requiring medical treatment. Plastic psychiatry arises when cultural norms and regulatory frameworks are structured in such a way that it becomes difficult for healthcare providers to deny medical interventions to these individuals, who then becomes patients of plastic psychiatry.
This type of care aims to maximize the patient's biological potential rather than elevate them to the societal norm for functional capacity and psychological well-being. In this respect, it differs from the traditional psychiatric view of mental illness.
In this way, it resembles cosmetic surgery procedures performed on individuals without any objective deformities that would normally warrant surgical intervention.
It should not be confused with "biohacking," a term better reserved for individuals who do not consider themselves mentally ill but nonetheless wish to feel or function even better and to reach their biological maximum potential—often with the help of medical interventions such as blood tests and dietary supplements. However, such individuals typically perceive themselves as striving for something beyond the norm and do not expect the healthcare system to allocate resources for them, as opposed to the patients of plastic psychiatry.

"The 5th referral of its kind this week: A 35 years old man, married, has three children and a successful career, but was recently diagnosed with ADHD and expects to be treated with stimulants to enhance his performance—yet another patient of plastic psychiatry!"
