Gollum in the DSM

NCBI ROFL usefully points to psychiatric discussion of Gollum's potential mental disorders. While the original article seems to present a solid diagnosis (schizoid personality disorder), at least to a non-psychiatrist, the range of potential disorders listed by discussants in the comments section suggests more art than science. Potential disorders there suggested include:

• Heavy metal poison from eating raw fish for decades in a cave in a goblin mine
• Vitamin B12 and iron deficiency from an all-fish diet
• Exclusion of said deficiencies because Gollum augmented his diet with occasional goblin; exclusion of said deficiencies because of lack of associated peripheral neuropathy
• Heavy metal / mercury / radiation poisoning from the One Ring
• Exclusion of heavy metal poisoning because of maintained high mobility and strength
• Addiction (to the Ring)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (ring related), comorbid with antisocial personality disorder
• Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis of Kidney Yin deficiency and liver-yang excess
• It's just symptoms of extreme old age
• Symbiotic parasite infection from the Ring
• Borderline personality disorder
• Chronic bacterial/fungal infection
• Psychopathy (murdered Deagol on sight of the Ring)

Obviously, accurate DSM assignation is difficult when simply presented with a list of fictional symptoms, but it does make me wonder about the arbitrariness of such assignations in real world cases.

Gollum himself weighs in in the comments:
