No, psychiatry is not a very, very loose and abstract field as much as it's an attempt to wrangle and understand a very, very loose and abstract subject, which is the essential nature of our thoughts and how we actionize them into behavior. Criticism of its lack of rigor may be fair in many cases, but for you to call it a "sham field" is reactionary and completely inflammatory. Don't backpedal with "I don't want to discredit the entire field" when you're going to lead your comment with, "Good riddance."
