Psychology , as a profession , has not evolved ! They come up with a lot of fancy words but in the end it’s all bull jive . COMMON SENSE is usually what it all comes down to , OR , pharmacology. Here’s a pill for this and a pill for that.
Mankind has advanced in many ways , except the most important advancement.
The understanding of the human being.

Yeah just when you get told something's wrong with you then it's hard to get rid of that gaslight and you feel pressured to try therapy for years
Yes that's half irony and half very much the truth too in many cases
For me how it played out was, when I asked fairweather friend to go out and do things like see a movie for fun (a distraction from the real bad issue coming up in my life) she thought I should instead go to a therapist hahahaha
So I relate a lot to you !
I would say though, be more patient with psychology as a science or as an evidence based approach. Psychology as a science started out only in 1879. So it's still a young discipline and it's just going to take a while to catch up with other sciences if you want to be optimistic about it
But yeah human beings are extremely complex too so it's a difficult subject to study and understand and work with.
