Answer:

Is still often vague and subjective

Step-by-step explanation:

The “Four D's” represent deviance, dysfunction, distress, and danger and can very much help practitioners in determining DSM IV-TR disorder based on observed symptoms and reported traits and conditions. DSM-IV codes are found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision, also known as DSM-IV-TR, published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) that covers all currently known mental disorders.

However the “Four D's” still remains unclear, somewhat ambiguous and subjective.
