That's an... interesting.. take.. There's a slice of that which is probably accurate, or at least something we could have a legitimate discussion about. However there's a lot of very REAL mental illness that is extremely detrimental to the people suffering from it, and from those around them, that has nothing to do with societal norms (in the way you mean). I'd also point out that the DSM isn't just used by psychiatrists (who give medicine) but is used by courts, psychologists, therapists, etc... who are dealing with treatment and therapy outside of prescribing drugs...
