I think it's a very bad thing to issue a diagnosis, in the field of psychology, to people that you have not personally assessed. There is an ethical argument
that just cannot be overlooked or excused from a professional that knows better than to say the things she is saying without a professional observation.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I remember when they were trying that with Dubya when he was president and many psychiatrist said that wasn’t the right and ethical thing to do, so the media kind of backed off on that.

However, this forensic psychiatrist is saying that they were giving him a mental health capacity evaluation from examining the Mueller Report. She also stated that military personnel go through this evaluation if they deal with nuclear weapons. What her and her colleagues found is that this president is unfit to make rational decisions. This is something that most people can see anyway by the way he tweets and retreats on his statements. She said also stated she does these evaluations for courts cases and she testifies in court with her findings.

Exactly. The president was not these psychiatrists' patient. Diagnosis precedes treatment.

"DONALD TRUMP’S ROSE Garden speech last week announcing his emergency declaration over the “crisis” at the southern border was rambling, incoherent, and unhinged: in short, everything we’ve come to expect from the 45th president of the United States. There has never been a president quite like Trump: the all-caps tweets; his obsession with election results and crowd sizes; his bragging, his boasting, his childish point-scoring. And yet journalists treat him like any other politician instead of stating the obvious: Donald Trump’s mental unfitness for office makes him a dangerous president. Almost half of the country agrees, and plenty of Republicans, including Sens. Bob Corker and Jeb Bush, have expressed concern about his mental stability. To discuss the situation and where we go from here, Mehdi Hasan is joined by Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a psychiatrist at the Yale School of Medicine, and by Trump’s biographer, David Cay Johnston."

But ethically, can a person in the field issue any kind of official evaluation without a proper evaluation? Observing a person as a patient is the ethical thing to do instead of going on TV talking about a person "from a distance".
