i am 100% sure if you showed that website to a board certified urologist he'd say that Lin is a complete quack.
your friends most definitely has some depression, unless he's hearing voices and experiecing disassociation he doesn't have schizophrenia.
looks to me like he has a garden variety of mental problems.
that he was a virgin until 24 is one clue, the extreme weight lifting also - bet he has some body dysmorphia issues and intimacy issues which kept him a virgin until he was 24.
he also has hypochondria, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and probably anxierty disorder - those four things all go together - different sides of the same coin.
like i said he's grasping at straws from Dr. Lin whose giving him the information he wants and needs to believe. Breaking him of this thinking is going to be extremely hard.

You hit it on the nail with the anxiety... His sister let me check his place a bit when he wasn't home and I found out an 1 800 number he wrote on a napkin for something to help with anxiety. I know because I was so curious I wrote down the # and called it when I got home.
I know he has intimacy issues, because his sister (who is my best friend) told me that when he was younger his best friend slept with his gf and he got weird after that. We talked about that too, and he claimed he wasn't that mad about it all and that he doesn't care, but I have a feeling that it did affect him.
And you were right with the anti-depression drugs too. He was prescribed them and the told me he doesn't take them. his mom yells at him to go to the pyschiatrist but he won't go...
