Then you should probably become a psychologist immediately, because you're apparently more skilled than about 80% of actual psychologists.

If you think you can give someone a visual once-over and definitively establish the totality of their mental state, then either you've got magical powers or you're an a******.

All I'm saying is you can make pretty good observations just on someone's appearance and how they are acting and reacting to their environment (why I said "I'd be surprised"). You don't need a doctorate or an MD to make such observations. Obviously you can't be 100% sure what is going on with a person based on a 30 second video but you can make pretty reasonable predictions.

Maybe this lady does have severe mental illness. And I agree context does matter, it'd be silly to say otherwise. Just my opinion that in this case with the given information, seems more likely than not that she's just nothing more than an intolerant and insufferable hag.
