"Probably highly unethical for psychiatrists to be making public statements about the mental status of anyone they haven’t interviewed and diagnosed in person"

No "probably". It's downright disgraceful.

Really.

If you had an appointment with a psychiatrist and they looked you up on Facebook and found they hated your politics, do you think that you could POSSIBLY get decent care from them?

These so-called "doctors" are dishonest morons, who should NOT be trusted with patient care in any capacity.

Well, of course it is “disgraceful”, but professionals such as psychiatrists also have formal codes of ethics which are enforceable by specific sanctions if those to whom they apply are found to violate them - I don’t know how the psychiatric code is worded, but I would be surprised if it were not contrary to it in some way to diagnose, analyze and essentially prescribe for anyone not seen personally - that’s why a timely complaint to the American Psychiatric Association might induce the professors to decide they acted inappropriately.....

I agree. Time for them to go back on "Honey Wagon" detail where their skill and mental level peaked.

I mean no disrespect to any Honey Wagon workers. This is meant to illustrate the so-called Psychiatrists capacity. Nothing more.
