No, you’re massively overgeneralizing. Freud is pseudoscience, but there’s lots of very real studies especially around the 60s (before ethics were considered) that follow the scientific method and have real measurable outcomes and conclusions.
Don’t be anti science. Science is a method, not a social club.
There definitely is real, experimental psychology, but unfortunately the vast majority of psychology in the popular consciousness, and even in some academic / professional bodies, is modern-day phrenology. (Also I’d cut Freud some slack, since he was working based on the standards of his time.)
