it isnt that we are trivializing not aqcknowleding and being hostile. psych central is made up of people all around the world. that means that everyone has to go according to what is mental disorders in their own locations. no one in the dissociative disorders said your dissociative motor disorder wasnt a disorder and that we were not acknowleding it. all my post said was letting you know that here ....in america...we dont call it dissociative motor disorder. ..here in america we call it conversion disorder and here in america it isnt listed as a dissociative disorder in the dsm.
my reason for posting that wasnt to cause you problems. it was because in your post you stated dissociative motor disorder never gets mentioned....it does it just is called a different thing in different locations.
