DSM is a political tool, not a public health one. It represents the sum total of the mechanisms that the new state religion (psychology/psychiatry) can apply to its trouble-makers and problem sources. If you can call someone crazy, no matter what they are saying or how important it is to the society as a whole, you can put them away and have society ignore them completely. That it is embedded as a device for use by the medical field is just a bonus; after all, you can't control a population unless you control its health. Never forget, there is nothing at all scientific about the composition of this material. It is functionally a state religion.
