Life will do that in the end anyway.

Regarding the Op, I don't know. Is medicine a science? It makes use of science but it isn't just research. It is treatment of conditions which can be life threatening, whether the conditions are affecting the body or the mind. So whether or not it is a 'science' it serves a real need here and now.

On the other hand I've met a few psychiatrists who I didn't think much of as people. Both psychiatry and psychotherapy seem to attract a few fringe characters. But then I've met more that I respected a great deal.

One shouldn't judge a whole field by the minuscule sample space of your own experience and hearsay.
