>>190231sorry to burst your bubble, cutie, but what you describe is a form of dissociation but not dissociative identity disorder itself. that word has identity in it, because - guess what - it's the whole identity that is broken down into new personalities.
that is not the "popular" form of DID, that is the
only form of DID.
what you have is dissociative symptoms that most probably coerce with BPD.
but thanks for contributing to this thread, makes it even more clear about how this disorder is rare and misdiagnosed heavily.

>>190240>>190239>>190240>>190239samefagging but yes i see what you mean about misdiagnosis - however it was explained to me by my treatment team that there was a "spectrum" of dissociation + dissociative behaviours within that diagnosis.
>>190242ok? like i'm just offering an opinion. y'all don't even know who i am so it's not like i'm trying to get attention. reel in that rage.
No. 190246
>>190240yeah, that's the main issue. in the diagnosis of every manual it clearly states, that there have to be at least two distinct personalities.
it's also easy to fake. if you want to fake it, mental health professionals either are too fascinated and thrilled they'll finally see such a rare case or they dont even doubt it, because what sane individual would trouble going to a professional and fake a mental illness there, right?

>>190246The Dissociative Spectrum
The dissociative spectrum (Braun, 1988) extends from normal dissociation to poly-fragmented DID. All of the disorders are trauma-based, and symptoms result from the habitual dissociation of traumatic memories. For example, a rape victim with Dissociative Amnesia may have no conscious memory of the attack, yet experience depression, numbness, and distress resulting from environmental stimuli such as colors, odors, sounds, and images that recall the traumatic experience. The dissociated memory is alive and active–not forgotten, merely submerged (Tasman & Goldfinger, 1991). Major studies have confirmed the traumatic origin of DID (Putnam, 1989, and Ross, 1989), which arises before the age of 12 (and often before age 5) as a result of severe physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. Poly-fragmented DID (involving over 100 personality states) may be the result of sadistic abuse by multiple perpetrators over an extended period of time.

>>190246People with the more extreme end of DID have amnesic states and experience reality thru different personality states - sometimes being aware of these states, other times not.
DID is nearly just as prevalent as schizophrenia. DID has a 1% rate and schizophrenia has a 1.1% rate. I do not see any of you claiming schizophrenia is not real, but yet you claim DID is not real because of its low prevalence rate. So POP there goes your illogical bubble.

>>190269this is a clear sign of someone not knowing a thing about mental disorders randomly rampaging the internet for a cool diagnoses to put on themselves.
wow, sucks to be you.
you just quoted something that backs up
exactly what I told you and have written in here:
>>190246
>The dissociative spectrum (Braun, 1988) extends from normal dissociation to poly-fragmented DID.The dissociative spectrum
does NOT mean that DID has a spectrum from mild to severe as autism has, but that there is a spectrum amongst
dissociative disorders, of which DID is the most severe with multiple personalities and the mildest one being usual dissociation that even happens in healthy individuals (e.g. driving a car in trance and not remembering it after).
which is also why
>>190271>People with the more extreme end of DID have amnesic states and experience reality thru different personality states - sometimes being aware of these states, other times not. is complete bullshit. One of the main diagnostic criteria of DID is reoccurring amnesia throughout the whole life span, which happens in absolutely
every case of DID. If you do not experience severe phases of amnesia during your daily life, you do not have DID. it's simple as that.
>>190274there will be no peer-reviewed article about the disorder or the most plain things about it itself, if it isnt something new.
the disorder whatsoever is real, but as we can see here
heavily misdiagnosed and there are at least as much people faking it. the epidemiology of 1% in the population is highly exaggerated. if you would do indepth research about the diagnoses (which reasearchers rarely do nowadays because it's cost and time expensive) and try to confirm the diagnoses this number would drop dramatically.

>>190293wow… how dense are you? read my text again, sweetheart.
it's no wonder you have trouble recognizing the difference between dissociation and DID or any other dissociative disorder, if you already have trouble to comprehend a short text of mine.
1) there is no "mild end" or "further end" of DID, there is no spectrum of DID, read what ive written above:
>The dissociative spectrum does NOT mean that DID has a spectrum from mild to severe as autism has2) spacing out during a car drive was an example of a very mild form of dissociation, which is not viewed as patholocigal, as ive written here:
>and the mildest one being usual dissociation that even happens in healthy individuals (e.g. driving a car in trance and not remembering it after). also:
>access to them via my school internet librarywow… that's really cute.
ive already have access through a university with 100.000 students, but thank you.
how about i fetch you some stuff, to understand the disorder you clearly not have nor understand anything of?
also I would advise you to change your mental health professional, because they clearly are absolutely incompetent.

go read the DSM-IV or DSM 5 or ICD10 with glossary and diagnostic criteria included.

>>190296The dissociative spectrum includes dissociative disorder NOS as well as the other dissociative disorders.
https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/dissociative-disorders/what-are-dissociative-disordersOne one end you have the benign dissociative disorders and the spectrum ranges to DID. Many mental health Dx are now being viewed as a spectrum. For example, it is now being considered that bipolar and schizophrenia are part of the same spectrum. There is good research evidence to support this.
So YES, DID is a spectrum disorder. It is PART of the spectrum of DD.
No. 190303
Dissociative amnesia, depersonalization, derealization, identity confusion, and identity alterations are core phenomena of dissociative psychopathology which constitute a single dimension characterized by a spectrum of severity. While dissociative identity disorder (DID) is the most pervasive condition of all dissociative disorders, partial representations of this spectrum may be diagnosed as dissociative amnesia (with or without fugue), depersonalization disorder, and other specified dissociative disorders such as subthreshold DID, dissociative trance disorder, acute dissociative disorders, and identity disturbances due to exposure to oppression.

>>190383Dissociative identity disorder is on the dissociative spectrum. It's one of the worst dissociative disorders. Because people can't get their facts straight doesn't mean it's not a real thing. Dissociation happens during many traumatic and less traumatic events, and can range from not noticing how quickly time had passed from to full on derealization and depersonalization.

>maybe we should just talk about whether people can really have a disorder whose symptoms include multiple distinct personalities? Since obviously that's a very different condition from simply having issues with dissociation/derealization/depersonalization.Differences between alters usually consist of different handwritings, clothes preferences, food preferences, sometimes physical symptoms such as brain activity. If you're really interested I added one of good books on D.I.D as .pdf format.

>>190305>>190386It is on a spectrum, but DID doesn't have a spectrum itself. Dissociative disorders have a spectrum and I never denied that. It's only DID if you have distinct personalities in a person and amnesia as main issue. I'm tired of repeating myself, so just Believe what you want to believe.
It might seem term picking but it is just as plain wrong as to E.g. Claim to have diabetes when all you have is unusual spikes of insulin. But I refrain from trying to discuss with special snowflake chan. It's useless. She wants to believe she has some sort of exotic severe disorder that makes her special and gives her a further excuse to not function in society and clinging on her secondary gain. It's much more fun than to admit she has bpd or plain old boring (for a spooning) ptsd. Do it OP. That doesn't make it anymore true.
