How Psychology Became Psychology?

I agree that, by their nature, philosophy is about what we think and psychology is about how, but if psychologists haven't settled on the what, they have no fucking business teaching the how, and almost all scientiests today have abandoned philosophy wholesale, so anyone who miraculously (😂) still cares about their own psychological health will benefit more from studying ancient philosophers -- or even religious texts -- than they will from most working therapists or popular psychologists' work.
I mean, by their own admissions, they went from studying shit they "don't know" to studying shit they "can't know". 😂 Does it really matter, then, what psychology's purpose is if it's beyond everyone's control? 🤣
