It does not address how the DSM came to be and the statistical nature of how diagnoses were arrived at. I believe you defined the word "normal" as being the lack of a DSM diagnosis. I would use the word "healthy" instead. "Normal" is a statistical term, after all. Still, I would like to know where in the DSM the word "normal" is used in context.
