Psychology like psychiatry is very similar to pseudoscience and I mean identical to the snake oil salesmen. Both of the fields attempt to “help” the unfortunate, who truly need help and placebos can arguably help "overcome" life factors. I was naive young from wishful thinking/optimism and thus fell prey to the mentality of the fields being positive for society; nowadays I realize the opposite. The sad thing is that society has morally suffered tremendously from both fields' actions & thoughts throughout history. Persons having poor life outcomes from genetics, where their time is squandered by misguided trust from themselves or loved ones and where what they need isn't there while sometimes they have a lot worse because of the fields.
