Reason's i disagree with this person is if you define disorder in psychiatry as a dysfunction in biological design than the definition falls apart because not every is built the same.
Look at this as the same material's that form life have slight deviations between one person to the the next.
This results in people being different in regards to how their brain functions in different life circumstances and traumatic events in life.
So how is one's biological design dysfunctionial if they are functioning consistently with their genes and biology?
Also someone saying one's reaction is unreasonable is itself a value judgement and what most people find unreasonable can infact be reasonable.
Example someone who infact hates dishonesty can reasonably flip out over someone telling a bald face lie and everyone else can see that reaction as overblown.
In other words just because because you think someone's reaction is unreasonable does not mean it is.
Also just because you have had this problems repeatedly does not make it a disorder or just a problem of biological dysfunction.
For example a lot of studies back up psychotic breaks can be caused by one's environment or life circumstances.
In other word's trauma can cause psychosis and repeated traumatic events can cause multiple psychotic episodes.
Psychosis and psychotic break's are a major part of schizophrenia so you might as well saying schizophrenia can be caused by trauma.
