Only licensed and qualified mental health professionals can make such a diagnosis. They will use the DSM and a professional assessment. If you are not a licensed and qualified mental health professional, you cannot make the diagnosis, even if you are following the DSM diagnostic criteria. It doesn’t matter if you know the person more than their pdoc or feel that they might have this or that. You cannot make such a diagnosis.
