Correct, DSM has pushed this notion that correlation and diagnosis of symptoms are well understood when under the DSM they are more loose associations of symptoms that say nothing of cause. You wouldn't group and heart attack and a broken rib as the same illness just because they both have the same symptom of chest pain. This isn't to deny the real symptoms people have though.

I don't know about this DSM, I just don't like labels. Especially "normal", that one sounds really lame.
