The DSM-5 was criticized because included conditions that are too "normal" to be called disorders. The new version of the DSM V was so extended that many have criticized that it lacks objectivity and normal conditions are pathologized. Even some critics consider that psychopharmaceuticals are recommended for conditions that we might consider normal.

I hope this can help you.
