Answer to Question 1

Although diagnostic labels can facilitate communication among professionals, concerns have been raised about the negative effects and stigmatization associated with the assignment of labels to children.

Answer to Question 2

The DSM-5 has been criticized for failing to capture the complexity of child psychopathology, for giving less attention to disorders of infancy and childhood than to those of adulthood, for its relative lack of emphasis on situational and contextual factors, and for its emphasis on symptoms rather than on underlying etiology.
