hmm The right likes to point out that the DSM is just a political document and certain things come and go (e.g. homosexuality as a defect, etc.) based on from which quadrant of the left the winds are blowing. Not sure we should endorse it whole heartedly today.https://twitter.com/AndToddsaid/status/1176478693847445505 …

So at one extreme we say "everyone is a human" (1 cluster), at the other extreme we say "no two people are the same - we can't speak about 'depression' we can only speak of 'your situation'" Taxonomies are useful because they express commonalities that suggest common treatments

All good taxonomies are in flux - especially at early stages like this (the taxonomy of living creatures is in much less flux these days bc DNA analysis - and I can imagine 200 years form now when our science of psychology is a 1000 times better that there will be less flux)
