Without a doubt, the DSM is a highly flawed system. However, I must say that personally, it actually felt better when my pdoc gave what I was experiencing a name. It made me feel like what I was dealing with was not just me being overly sensitive or anything like that. She recognized my problem and it was a disorder that other people experienced too. Just my 2 cents. ;)
