Look at psychopathy for example - you can argue about the symptoms all you want, but it's actually caused by a malformation of the amygdala, so you either have it or you don't, true or false.
Like much in the MH field, more studies, over time, will tell a more fulsome tale. Still, I still think each individual's "mental makeup" dictates there will always be a certain amount of leeway present.
