that's part of how mental illnesses are sorted out, yes. anything that makes it more difficult to function within the social parameters of one's environment and also appear normal to the person(s) are deemed mental illnesses, if I understand it correctly.
I don't agree with it for the most part, having a group of people decide what is or isn't a mental illness and publish that in the latest DSM but.....the fact is mental illnesses exist and the definition does seem to make sense.
So in that light, I do tend to agree.
