Hoi,
<grin> Wikidata and common knowledge </grin> My point is that we can accept
a fact when it is factual not when it is "common knowledge" and wrong. So
where is the sourcing? DSM says it is not a disease and an ontology has it
wrong, this is backed up by recent literature. The problem is that there is
a lot believed to be knowledge and acted upon while it is scientifically
not sound at all, far from it.

I prefer it to be in generalities because the "common knowledge" is both
stigmatising and wrong.
Thanks,
       GerardM
