There’s actually a professional rule in psychology called The Goldwater Rule. In 1964, Fact magazine polled 12,356 psychologists to ask whether or not they thought Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater was psychologically fit for office. 1800 responded, and 1189 said “no” and then Fact went as far as putting it on the cover of one of their magazines.

Crucially, none of those 1189 (that I know of) had even met Goldwater. So, it’s likely that many of them were interpreting their own political biases through a psychiatric lens.
Eventually, the fallout from this article led to the APA to codify it into their ethical code.
