DSM-IV or real? I have a number of (diagnosed and otherwise) mental illnesses. I also write Haskell for enjoyment, and help people with Linux on the internet even though it benefits me in no way. I care about mathematics and computation more than climate change and the feelings of people close to me. Is that ok?

Pretty sure there is an entry in DSM-IV for that :)

Out of curiosity, have you read any of DSM? I've read some portions of DSM-V and found it to be, on the whole, more reasonable than it is typically given credit. Perhaps some of that is owing to improvements made over the years, but nonetheless.
