Psychiatry has never been and never will be “science”.

Why? Because it’s not a natural science? I understand that the mathematical aspect that has been a cornerstone of the natural sciences is not as strong in social sciences, and never will be, but it’s still a field of study.

When Keynesian and Marxist economists continue to peddle crackpot theories, we say that they’re wrong. We don’t question the validity of economics.

I don’t get why it is acceptable to attack psychology/psychiatry as such just because the Left has hijacked it like they have with all forms of academia.
