Or 10 people checked psychiatrist’s facebook profile, facebook found common interest, saw that none of these people are fb friends and suggested to become friends, because hey, you all have something in common, you are all interested in this person.

Yes, I believe this is what happened

Fb will suggest you know person X if a) you looked at person X's profile or b) person X looked at your profile
