This is not meant argumentatively, but is it intrinsically part of the definition of a psychological disorder that it cannot be controlled at all by the person? And presumably people here aren't actually diagnosing him with the condition, merely saying be acts like that (as many smug, full of themselves people also act that way without it being clear they've got a disorder)
