When I was in university I took psychology modules out of interest and crashed lectures out of curiosity. Im inclined to agree with you. Coming from a pure mathematics background, I felt that their methodology of studying sonething as complex as the human mind and the underlying assumptions rather unqualified, lacks attention to details and a sense of rigour. This opinion and (the OP's remarks) aren't going to be popular here, but this was my observation as I was sitting down in lecture theatres listening to psychologists and their models and how they arrived at them and how they applied them.
Fields like neuroscience and behavioural economics are far better in their approach to understanding how we think. I'm glad you found some measure of comfort in meditation and that you recovered. It takes immense strength to fight an enemy within.
