It's unethical for any psychiatrist or therapist to try and diagnose someone without, you know, meeting them for an intake session. And a good therapist will not try to force someone into a box after just intake, they will wait a session or two before firming up a diagnosis. This is really unethical and even if she thinks this is true, or has these conversations in her friend group, it is in no way okay for her to publish something trying to diagnose him or speculate on his brain. She is not a journalist making cracks about his age and weight, or speculating about Alzheimers based on a scan of WebMD. She is a medical professional who knows better.

It's so bizarre to me that the people casting professional, ethical guidelines to the side and engaging in irresponsible speculation think they are the ones in the right. Ethical guidelines are not there for when you feel great and things are easy. They are there for tough cases and situations where you feel so passionate about something that you're not thinking clearly.

When will someone stand up to the Left and call them on their shit?
