The criticism of DSM is that it is categorical wherein a person is categorized on the basis of whether or not the person has come mental disorder. The degree of the mental disorder does not play any role in the categorization of the person.

People with same type of mental disorder are categorized in the same manner irrespective of how much the disorder impacts the person.
