It is b*llshit. Dx is b*llshit IMO.
There is often more variability between patients of the same dx group than there is between patients of different dx groups.
There is meant to be a radical restructuring of the DSM at some point. I think they are planning on doing away with the different dx groups and are planning of just having lists of symptoms that can be exhibited by people to a greater or lesser extent.
I think that is a good idea but it will take some time...
