No. It's a easy subject if your purpose is to cram and learn absolutely nothing, but understanding psychology is very difficult . The theories and statistics is very difficult and confusing.every theory you will read will seem easy but if you go a little deep it's very complex and mind twisting and don't make me start with statistics  . It's just never ending loop of making scientifically valid and reliable test. And if you think giving a scientific analysis to human behavior is easy than sure it's easy.
