Pseudopsych

superficially positive but functionally useless psychological advice.
Such as:
Don't be sad. Be happy.
Be yourself.

Social Media is flooded with pseudopsych masquerading as mental health advice.

Pseudopsychosis 

pseu⋅do psy⋅cho⋅sis: Soo-do Sigh-co-sis

1. The appearance of having psychosis (mental duress, hallucinations, panic) but not actually being afflicted by them. It's a form of hysteria commonly associated with drug users and schizophrenic wannabes.

2. An underground blogger known for subversive writing and particular non-chalance towards authority and suits in general.

I think that writer has pseudopsychosis, it's all in his self-obsessed head. http://pseudopsy.wordpress.com/

Pseudopsychologist 

A person who, whether a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, mental health therapist, social worker, bartender, opera singer, lawyer, or Daily Wire founder, pontificates on and spreads misinformation about psychological research and practice.

Pseudopsychologist Jordan Peterson has an irrational obsession with the social hierarchy of lobsters.
