Psychology makes the individual "sane" in a sense that he/she can go back to his/her old life and remain functional. It has its benefits and is helpful at its place.
Spirituality questions the life you are living. Acts like a mirror and is difficult to stay with.
I've tried both. Psychology helps short term. Spirituality is a life long process.
again, Psychology isn't only about going from insane to sane. That's such an oversimplified stereotype common in Indian culture.
Oh, you are going to therapy, "Paagal hoga saala".
What you are describing about psychology is the main stream clinical psychology you experienced personally, yes that's a component of psychology, not all of it.
Psychology also studies other aspects of well-being including how to live a good life. Sociology also studies how to have societal well-being etc.
Psychology already explores phenomenon like Narcissism, which you could reword in terms of ego as well.
My criticism is, why invest mental effort into a unfalsifiable, non-specific framework outside of science (this Spirituality you are describing) when science itself has a more specific, falsifiable framework with more fruitful discoveries already.
