I have dissociative symptoms but i don't really meet any set criteria. DDNOS. Something's wrong but they just can't decide which basket of symptoms fits me best. I get better. I learn how to manage my stress and my triggers. I practice my grounding exercises and I use them when I need to. It helps. I don't know if I've ever cared WHAT they call it, as long as they can help me.

the short version about whether it matters what its called is that here in america over the next yr or so the treatment providers are switching to calling mental disorders by whats in the DSM 5 which is now the diagnostics and mental health labels america goes by.
that means for example my treatment provider is not going to call my problems....depersonalization disorder, derealization disorder, PTSd, DDNOS....
my treatment provider is now going to call my mental disorders....
PTSD dissociative disorder subtype
depersonalization disorder with derealization symptoms. (derealization and depersonalization disorders have been combined into one mental disorder in the DSM 5)
UDD (DDNOS is no longer the label being used )
In other words I have to get used to hearing my diagnosises being called by the new diagnostics criteria and new diagnostic labels that are in the DSM 5 because thats what my treatment providers are using now..
you will need to contact your own treatment providers to see if it matters what your diagnostics are called where you are...
