^ I have a lot to say about psychology as a pseudoscience. No, you can't deny the existance of things like depression, but there is a lot of false/bad science done in the way we quantify something as subjective as "mental health." Bell curve my ass. And some of the ways which we study the brain are just plain flawed - ie studying the brainwave of schizophrenic patients AFTER they have been medicated. The bookMad In America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine, and The Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill talks a lot about this stuff.
More importantly however, the effects of bad psychology/psychiatry can be extremely dangerous. Anti-psychotics especially can have sickening reactions.
I would continue, but I'm at work and trying to rush through an assignment.
