Yup. I can see why they want to avoid medicalising things that aren't causing anyone any distress, though.
The problem is that once you try to draw that line, you're essentially asking the patient to diagnose themselves - how distressed is "enough"? You end up not treating the people that put up and shut up, and (perhaps) wasting resources on people who have less severe problems but just complain louder. Also, even though the diagnostic criteria are drafted in as non-sexist a manner as possible, with identical wording, it ends up institutionalising society's sexism.
