You can do a psychiatric evaluation remotely. You don't need to put hands on. Psychiatry is an observatory discipline. Doctors do and have diagnosed mental issues via video evaluation.
True an in person conversation with questions and feedback would be better but it's not required.
Certain conditions display an established range of behaviors that are recognized by mere observation.
oh really
The Goldwater rule is the informal name given to Section 7 in the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics[1] that states it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures they have not examined[further explanation needed] in person, and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their mental health in public statements.[2] It is named after presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.

Simply put, breaking the Goldwater Rule is irresponsible, potentially stigmatizing, and definitely unethical.
Seems people ACTUALLY in the profession think differently than you.

Rumors do not prosecute.
The issue however is a ethical one were the Goldwater rule clashes with the duty to warn.
