Is psychiatry a real science. Wow! I am someone that has always viewed it as such. A psychiatrist first trains as a doctor and then goes on to specialize in psychiatry. The same for psychologists, they are doctors, with degrees. Aren't social sciences real science? It is true that we do not know as much about the brain as we do about other body parts, and so the science is not as mature as other sciences. But yes I view psychiatry and psychology as a science with humanity thrown in...
