Psychology is not a drug to the person being analyzed. It is a form of self-evaluation and discovery that will make it possible for that person to begin to make healthier choices.
It's like opening up a watermelon with a few bad patches. Is it garbage? Absolutely not! Simply find the bad patches, remove them, and enjoy the rest of the melon!--not that easily, but a similar concept.

I think you are asking if psychology is real or fake. Going on that assumption, no it is not. It takes 12 long hard years to become a psychiatrist. They are also Medical Doctors and require a license to prescribe medication if it helps the client.
Would you take your family pet to a Veterinarian if it was hurt? Would you go to the dentist if you needed a root canal? Would you find a good psychiatrist if your child tried to end his life? Psychology is not a game. It is a science.

Stormy, I am insulted! Most in the profession are applying methods that teach the person being analyzed to gain a sort of control in the area which is the weakest.
Its alright to doubt what you may not have need of now! So I am not really insulted....
Great question

Psychology is like a microscope that you use to examine the smallest details of your mind. Some people may have experiences like that with drugs, and some may not.

I would consider it a treatment of the mind, not a drug because its not a substance.

I don't think so. More of an awakening.
