Psychology is psuedoscience

[Elation]

And "mental health" is a dubious concept invented by the woke left. But seriously, why do people support this blatant snake oil field? Doctors involved in it are rather often quite eager to load you up on SSRIs and other pills that turn you into an emotional zombie. Pills that quite frequently come with a long list of side effects, some of which can be long-lasting that continue to affect you even once you've stopped taking the medication.

Psychology has nothing to do with either left or right. There's also psychiatry, which works better, especially for more serious issues that certain individuals have. Pseudo-science is the baseless debunk-attempts against either of those (psychology+psychiatry), instead!

By the way, did you know that psychiatry readily explains, part of the woke left's mentality, is actually psychiatric issues (ex "gender dysphoria")?

A naive response.

mathematics are a psuedoscience; the vast majority of practical applications and modern development hinge on faulty assumptions that have yet to be proven.

It always depends on who is doing the assessing.

There tens of millions of people who would disagree with you.
However, I agree with you.
I shall not name these individuals.

Any time I see someone using terms like "woke" and "woke left", I know they're someone of subpar intelligence, maybe even on the border of being mentally challenged. Psychiatry/psychiatry was invented by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. A person would have to be disabled to even think of using "woke" and "woke left" in the same sentence as psychology

Sigmund Freud was a guy who tried really hard to justify his incestuous feelings.

It is when government and drug companies are involved. But the study of these fields is very real:

"Psychologists are involved in research on perception, cognition, attention, emotion, intelligence, subjective experiences, motivation, brain functioning, and personality. Psychologists' interests extend to interpersonal relationships, psychological resilience, family resilience, and other areas within social psychology. They also consider the unconscious mind."

The thing about psychology though, everyone has a mind and body, you can be a psychologist just by paying attention. Ask questions until only the single remaining question exists

I can assure you psychology is not pseudoscience. No matter how diverse and people are their brain patterns for the most part run about the same courses making them predictable. As a patient to me yes it never works because therapists cant keep up but as a specialist I can assure you that psychology really does help people. Basically therapy boils down to a few things
Giving alternate points of view
Guidance and strategy for coping
therapies like EMDR for instance link conscious and sub conscious minds helping to heal PTSD and defragment memories.
Old saying you get out what you put in.
Mental health has increased dramatically for reasons such as Covid and trans issues. I am a specialist in Dissociative identity disorder, the problem and looooong list of clients wanting therapy because they are trans and think they have D.i.D or people that have seen moon knight and thinking its cool or something, if they want to pay me £1200-1500 a session who am I to argue. However 9/10 times socially driven or cognitive dissidence.

there are very few fields that aren't impacted by this reality, and the vast majority of them have even shakier foundations.

consequently, calling any of them psuedoscientific is questionable.

they barely have a leg to stand on in the first place; how can science be said to exist in this circumstance?
