Abstract
DSM-5 has built its classification on an ideological position: that mental disorders can be fully explained by neuroscience, and that there is no boundary between pathology and normality. This point of view could lead to diagnostic inflation, inflated estimates of prevalence, medicalization of normal variations, and overtreatment, implications that are documented for several groups of disorders.
