I vividly remember a diagnosis of “Death due to collission between airborne vehicle and tram”. That could on the other hand be a case of a yet to be explained memory perversion.

All homosexuality was pathologized in the same way prior to 1973. The fact that many sexual minority members had no other symptoms to speak of beside same-sex attraction was beside the point.

Clearly these aren’t really diagnoses, but are presenting features that sometimes appear separately from the syndromes to which they could otherwise be ascribed.

They also seem to basically be describing Michael Jackson.

Which reminds me there was for a while in the southern US states, wasn’t there, a “diagnosis” of “runaway slave mania”.
