I think this is not a valid criticism.

By this criteria, you can then say many other non-psych conditions are not disorders.

What classifies as a disorder other than making life worse for someone?

There is no universal book given by a holy entity that we can read to classify something as normal or a disorder.

Why do we have arbitrary cutoffs for cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc?
