My first thought is, criticized by whom?
I don’t know many mental health professionals who are overly critical of DSM-5.
There is always a clinical component to diagnostics. Tools like DSM-x give us data and we interpret that data along with other physical data and personal observations.
There is no single point of data collection that can, on its own, diagnose a psychological condition.
