I think it's important not to conflate the more subjective regions of psychology with somebody who is erratic and clearly suffering/causing harm to themselves/others. In fact this sort of relativism can be harmful I think as it can justify people who are mentally ill thinking that nothing needs to be fixed, yet carry on harming themselves/others. You really do have to be extreeeemely careful about this sort of thing, and the Feynman case is hardly comparable, unless there were some nonsensical outbursts from him that I don't know about. On that subject - just because Feynman didn't think psychology was a proper science (and essentially it isn't), doesn't mean it isn't an incredibly important hack. All the people who have suffered from mental illness and received effective treatment are a testament to that.
