The definition of all mental disease is completely based on social norms, a mental disease is just something which prevents you from behaving in a way certain people deem 'normal'. People like Szasz have posited it as a method for social control, where psychiatrists are proxies for authoritarian state power. I think if you asked Nietzsche he would say it's a natural response to the death of god; people look for something else to worship, and it's capitalism/obedience, and people who don't believe in it need help much in the way heretics of old were deserving of our help and pity to find God. Now instead of priests we look to psychologists, the priests of our new religion. If you need evidence simply look at homosexuality; this was a mental disease while society didn't accept gay people (being gay made it impossible to live a "normal" life in society). Now that we think being gay is just fine it's no longer a disease. Nothing medical changed, ergo the definition was not in essence a medical one.
