"Coerced psychologically" means precisely nothing. Everyone does everything because they are coerced psychologically to do it. If you object to this particular form of psychological coercion, explain why.
No, it doesn't mean nothing. No, everyone does not do everything because they are coerced psychologically.
The second claim - everyone does everything because they are coerced psychologically - is a great example of a statement that is either false or vacuous. False, if you interpret "coerced" in a non-trivial sense. Vacuous, if by "coerced", you mean no more than "because they have (some) desire or inclination."
Compulsion is real. Psychological compulsion is real. If you have never been driven to do something by fear or desperation, yet still very much against your will, I'm glad for you. But that doesn't mean everyone is so lucky.
