Behaviors become disorders when they severely affect your ability to function. “In society” is often added.
The “in society” is a sticking point for many people because a great many diagnoses are only disorders due to modern society or cultures.
Some disorders are largely independent of culture. Severe executive function problems are on par with more visible disabilities. Even if having vision from God are acceptable, a bipolar person will be clearly marked as ”not normal” in any culture.
