doctors can do what they want anyway. getting rid of DSM-V won't remove those powers. it just removes a way to describe / discuss (and perhaps challenge) what they are doing. so you're actually making things more open to abuse.
but i'm not sure if this will help explain things, as i thought my comment above was pretty clear anyway.

You seem to not realize that the DSM-5 can be used to justify treating you with a wide variety of medications.
If you feel a little down, occasionally feel a bit energized and happy, and sometimes anxious, using the DSM 5 your shrink can gladly give you:
antidepressants antipsychotics anxiety medications
and more.
