Inadequate personality

The DSM-II (the last version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual to list "Homosexuality" as a disorder)is a source of continuous amusement:

301.82 Inadequate personality

This behavior pattern is characterized by ineffectual responses to emotional, social, intellectual and physical demands. While the patient seems neither physically nor mentally deficient, he does manifest inadaptability, ineptness, poor judgement, social instability, and lack of physical and emotional stamina.

(In other words, you suck -- and you have no excuse.)
