If a mental illness professional diagnoses someone as such, then I think it would be prudent to deny that person a firearm purchase. That person should have the right to appeal the denial and get a 2nd opinion.
Question 21h on federal form 4473 currently reads:
Have you ever been adjudicated as a mental defective OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution?
It could be expanded to include a medical diagnosis of a dangerous psychiatric condition that is often violent, such as schizophrenia or sociopathy, or a mental disorder that often results in suicide, such as gender dysphoria, clinical depression, or bipolar disorder.
