Abby, wasnt sure if I recognized your name so I went back and reread some of your posts. what I found out is that you dont live in the USA. you live in an area that may or may not use the term structural dissociation depending upon whether where you are now (one or more of your posts mentioned india) uses the DSM 5 standards or other diagnostic manuals that are not on the DSM5/ICD 10 standards.

my point is many locations no longer use the term structural dissociation so many countries no longer explain it to their clients as this or in this type of format. there is many websites on the internet that explains what it used to be before the countries changed their standards for mental health care your treatment providers would be the best place to get information on this based on what the term structural dissociation means in your location. getting it from online sources could end up doing yourself more harm....

for example if you are still in india and someone here from Europe tells you what it is in their own location and you use that persons terms, and problems for explaining your own you could end up getting diagnosed with another mental disorder

or worse since here in america we do not have a .....mental disorder...... called structural dissociation, anyone that tells their treatment provider something like "I think I have structural dissociation" that person runs the risk of their treatment provider saying directly to them sorry there is no such thing as that here so you cant have that disorder. or the treatment provider listens politely and then writes on the file..... fictitious disorder imposed on self reason for this diagnosis there is no disorder called structural dissociation in the dsm 5.

see what I mean... the best person for you to get information on what this is, in you and your location is by contacting the treatment provider who diagnosed you with this and ask them to clarify what that means in you and your location.

there are just so many different countries and standards I'd hate for you to cause your self more problems by trying to figure things out online and then end up going by whats not in your location.
