I wonder if when she says I have mild did that it's because I am aware of some form of it even though I didn't know what it was or what to call it.
Love and hugs,

Im sorry but I cant tell you why your pdoc is saying you have mild DID. you need to ask the pdoc that.I can tell you that mild refers to severity and around here pdocs dont say mild until - after - the client has gone through diagnostic tests. this way the pdoc and sit down with the client and show them all the wheres, whys and all on why the client fits the diagnosis. schedule an appointment with your pdoc and go through your psych eval and ask the pdoc why they are saying you have mild DID. I can tell you mild isnt on the scoring sheet for how severe a person has any of the dissociative disorders. severity for dissociative disorders go on a number scale not mild medium and severe. for example my number on one of the scales was 8. f you went through the testing your pdoc can tell you exactly what that number is and where you fit on the dissociative disorders scales.
if you didnt go through diagnostic testing then you can ask your pdoc to do that with you. it consists of computerized, oral and academics, and a medical evaluation with your physician, and tests to rule in/out things like seizure disorders. it typically takes anywhere from a month to 4 months to get all the testing done and then about a week to 6 weeks to get the results.
