I mean, at least in a social (not clinical) setting, i'd say the burden of proof is on society to prove that it doesn't exist.

I understand not wanting to clinically treat it if there isn't much evidence.

Not really. You don't prove non-existence -- you prove existence.

Else we'd also have some burden to prove that fairies don't exist.
