While the DSM is mostly bs, there are in some cases, let's call them, descriptions of behaviors that line up quite well with reality on the ground.

Also, as per DSM it is exceedingly difficult to treat BPD and from anecdotal experience that is dead on.

Of course, the DSM is more about pushing drugs and never-ending shrink sessions, and yet we use it as a kind of pop psychology reference.
