No. Although, statistically, a small percentage of people will suffer from a mental illness, but not many.
But, no, most people do not go crazy just by studying psychology.
Just like med students don't all get really sick and die.

No. I minored in psychology and I'm not crazy. *twich*
It does help you to understand people. It also lets you explore a lot of different theories and it lets you decide how you interpret the world, whether it be according to Freud, Jung, Adler, Skinner, etc. Psychology isn't just the study of personality. It is studying behavior. I had a very interesting class on physiological psychology and we studied the brain's functions in our behavior. I highly reccommend psychology!

It depends on what you study. Talking about all those crazy diseases can throw you of your rocker. Then again theres some really interesting stuff like personality and people's attitude towards money.

No philosophy. You will think think think and find out nothing at all.
