You are telling people that their diagnosis will be absorbed by things like PTSD and anxiety when in fact that will probably not happen. You should check things out better, especially working in the field and all.
no Im not telling people here that those here on psych central that have DDNOS will have their DDNOS symptoms absorbed by things like PTSD....

I am stating that here in NY at the crisis center where I work we are dealing with the possibility that DDNOS has been removed by sending our clients to go through diagnostic evaluations or matching their (our clients symptoms) with what we do know that PTSD now does include dissociative symptoms that were once called DDNOS, or our clients have the choice to close their case with us and we refer them (our clients) to others.

and I have stated in general people with Dissociative symptoms will still get treated for their dissociative symptoms, it just ...may....be called something different, and to ..........check with their own treatment providers who will be able to tell them how the new DSM 5 diagnostics will be affecting their own individual diagnostics.

I havenot mislead anyone in this thread ...I have been very clear in the fact that I dont have a copy of the DSM 5 and so I can not tell them for sure whats going on.
