i support my 29 year old son who does not work and does not have a diagnosed medical condition. can i claim him as a dependent?

Yes, it sounds like you may be able to claim him as an "other dependent", assuming he has met all the tests, from:  Rules for Claiming Dependents on Taxes:

• Do they live with you? Your relative must live with you all year as a member of your household or be on the list of “relatives who do not live with you” in Publication 501. About 30 types of relatives are on this list, including parent, so you have met this test.
• Do they make less than $5,050 in 2024 ($5,200 for 2025)? Your relative can't have a gross income of more than $5,050 in 2024 and be claimed by you as a dependent. This threshold increases to $5,200 for 2025. Certain income is excluded from this requirement such as all or part of Social Security benefits.
• Do you financially support them? You must provide more than half of your relative's total support for the year.
