Hmm. I don’t think that comparing a website designed for self-diagnosis by an average user, WebMD, can be compared to a text written for psychiatric diagnosis by professionals, the DSM.
I understand your reasoning - no one should rely on self-diagnosis - but the DSM really helps me to understand why I do that which I do and, in that sense, it’s my go-to psychiatric-diagnostic text.
Just my opinion
