That's the point, the diagnosis isn't inherent to the patient, it's dependent on how the patient relates to the rest of the world. Whether *you* have an "illness" or not is decided by how your personality lets you function in society, which is more about society than you. All the direct criteria are fuzzy and subjective, which is why anyone with a copy of the DSM can flip through it and convince themselves they've got almost everything in there.
