Apparently "hysteric psychosis" involves dissociation. When I get depressed, I sometimes feel disconnected from my body. There is supposed to be a traumatic event though, and I can't think what that would have been in my psychosis. IDK
Oh well, I guess DID is probably not relevant to my problems. Thanks for the responses  |
here in america we do not have a mental disorder called hysteric psychosis. what used to be called hysteria is now called conversion disorder and here in america this is not with in the dissociative disorders grouping of mental disorders. here it is listed as a somatic disorder (mental or physical health problems being converted into other medical health conditions example depression being converted into headaches, aches and pains, ) you might check with your treatment providers to ask them if you fit in with the the somatic disorder called conversion disorder.
I do know that there are other countries that still consider conversion disorder (your wording hysteric psychosis) as a dissociative disorder but here in america it is not.
