By refusing to "diagnose" Biden, she is finally following the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics, aka the "Goldwater Rule":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldwater_rule

On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.

The American Medical Association has a similar provision in their code of medical ethics.

Of course, she violated this rule by "diagnosing" Trump. But, I'm not aware of anyone being disciplined for doing so.
