>>10353099I'm a psych student, the course is a load of cope that makes me wish I studied theology instead or just took a gap year instead of rushing into this meme because I thought the brain was cool and wacky. These kind of replication crisis studies are occasionally mentioned, only to be followed up by "so make sure you don't do academic fraud!", as if that's the root of the problem. The root of the problem is that psychologists are clinically retarded. Here's a fun task: ask a psychology student or graduate "why is there a mental health crisis?", 99% of them won't have a competent answer which is very telling of the way psychology approaches things. The root of the problem (technology) is ignored, instead you can treat people with puppy therapy! Ted Kaczynski is the start and end of good psychology, I said this and people think I'm a potential terrorist now. Psychology refuses to acknowledge that trannies are a media-induced disease, you can't say that either. The majority of the students believe in astrology, there's no hope for psychology.
>>10353118Psychiatry isn't psychology. Psychiatry, just like psychology, has no base in solid research. The effectiveness of psycho-active medication is largely explained by the placebo effect and the passing of time, even then it's effectiveness is shit. Development of drugs comes before explanations of how they work. Just toss some chemicals at the brain, and if it happens to do something, come up with a tidy explanation.
