For the most part, I agree. There are some scenarios where you could profile a condition based on, say, gene sequencing data more readily than in a diagnostic interview. Maybe like... foster parents call a clinic asking about treatments for possible Fetal Alcohol Syndrome; you query the electronic med records of the child which include a recent dna test, and it turns out the diagnosis is William's Syndrome.

Are we close to being able to do this for conditions like depression, schizophrenia, autism... not so much.
