It is arguable. There are many different types of sciences, such as soft science and hard science and many in-betweens. It is a political minefield. Thus far they have not come nearly as far as they have claimed they have from generation to generation and the ever growing number of academic psychiatrists who are getting caught with conflicts of interest in their research is making this a more difficult issue to understand than ever.

I recommend reading Robert Whitaker's Anatomy of An Epidemic.
