But totally unethical to diagnose someone from a distance. He should lose his license.
WRONG...... and just plain silly.
No one is claiming to formally DIAGNOSE anyone. If the average person had more psychology schooling in their background......they too would be able to assess dysfunctional behavior ......and encourage seeking help. Maybe they would then be able to recognize the signs of mental disorder.......and get hep before someone goes on a shooting escapade. (for an obvious example)
the problem is that far too many still want to live in the dark ages and shun the idea of mental unhealth. The whole idea of psychology ...... and understanding human nature ....is too scary for to many..... they would rather just stay ignorant.
Strange how these same folks have no problem JUDGING others ......
BTW......one CAN diagnose from a distance. Physicians do it all the time. Via video consultations etc..
