I just wanted to clarify something. ... there is no OSDD 1 or OSDD B....

short version its all one dissociative disorder .....OSDD


the numbers designate which diagnostic criteria the diagnosing treatment provider is using to label that person OSDD....

example....

file name...Amanda Louise
Diagnosis OSDD
specify reason for diagnosis...1
1. Chronic and recurrent syndromes of mixed dissociative symptoms: This category includes identity disturbance associated with less-than-marked discontinuities in sense of self and agency, or alterations of identity or episodes of possession in an individual who reports no dissociative amnesia.

another example...
client ...Amanda Louise
diagnosis....OSDD
Specify reason for diagnosis....2
2. Identity disturbance due to prolonged and intensive coercive persuasion: individuals who have been subjected to intensive coercive persuasion (e.g. brainwashing, thought reform, indoctrination while captive torture, long term political imprisonment, recruitment by sects/cults or by terror organizations) may present with prolonged changes in or conscious questioning of, their identity.

another example...
client ...Amanda Louise
diagnosis...OSDD
Specify reason for diagnosis...3
3. Acute Dissociative reactions to stressful events: this category is for acute transient conditions that typically last less than 1 month and sometimes only a few hours or days. These conditions are characterized by constriction of consciousness, depersonalization, derealization,perceptual disturbances (e.g. time slowing, macropsia) micro-amnesias, transient stupor; and or alterations in sensory-motor functioning (e.g. analgesia, paralysis)

Diagnosis ....OSDD
Specify reason for diagnosis...1 and 3.

in other words the numbers are a short hand way of writing which .....symptoms and criteria got the person their diagnosis of OSDD.

its not that there are many different mental disorders called OSDD. its all one mental disorder. its just that treatment providers now have a way to ....document.... on the files why they are diagnosing a person with OSDD and some locations the treatment providers are now ....required .....to specify why they are diagnosing a person with OSDD by designating the number of the diagnostic criteria they are using to give the person the label of OSDD.

in my location this way of documenting also helps the treatment provider to assess whether to this was an emergency\ temporary diagnosis situation like whats done in the ER and that the regular treatment provider may need to adjust the mental disorder to another dissociative or other mental disorder that better fits the person's long term problems.
