Why is psychology not seen as a science by many people, and why isn't it seen as rigorous compared to the natural sciences? (Math, Biology, Physics, etc.)

I'm a psych major, and it's disheartening to hear people not taking the field seriously. I have heard many go as far as to say that it is not a science, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Where does this perception come from?

I think psych as a field is still represented in media by therapy, which is super stigmatized and has an unfortunate history.  It is irritating when other science people dismiss psych, because we literally use the same scientific method.
