many diagnosis evaluations are oral meaning done when the client \patient does not know they are being evaluated. they are questionaires that the treatment provider writes down/checks off upon initial meeting. your intake treatment provider probably did one of these while you were currently showing symptoms in the words you were using, what you were telling them was happening(otherwise called self reported symptoms) your body language, how aggressive or non aggressive, or lack of emotions, all kinds of things can be diagnosed with in that first contact meeting now. some there are many different /new psychosis symptoms and disorders since 2013, not all include things like hallucinations, some do include symptoms that are similar to dissociative disorders.

now most mental disorders include the diagnosis criteria that the problems can not be better explained by another mental or physical health problem. it may be that the kind of symptoms that you see as depersonalization and time loss are actually with in the new diagnostics and because you may not fit other criteria for dissociative disorders they may have had no choice but to use the other most fitting diagnosis.

I can't say I have missing time because I'm co-conscience, but what I do have is missing memories. I don't 'come to" hours days later, the conscience stays aware...it's so weird. When we switch, whoever was out takes the memory with them when they go back in...leaving blank spots in my days...weeks...years....life. My blank spots are not the same blank spots of the others. Like I, the homebody, have vague glimpses or snapshots of what they did at work today...trying to bring up the memories is so stressful and straining that it makes me sick because they don't want to share.....but I can tell you everything that I've done since I became, easily...like I took a shower and exfoliated, then Sarah cooked dinner, then I came out and Epilatored my arms and legs and came on here to peruse the forums...while watching ET and The Voice while having a drink.
