if you were here where I am my treatment provider has rules and guidelines for what is a Dissociative type of alter vs other kinds. if a person doesnt fit the rules and guidelines then the alters can not be called dissociative kind....
example the guideline / rules that.............. my treatment provider.......... has says that in order for my alters to be called dissociative / related to my dissociative disorders I must have the reaction of a dissociation symptom right before or at the moment of an alter taking control. this is recognized either by self reporting or my treatment provider actually witnessing the dissociative event and alter taking control. If I dont have a dissociation symptom then that alter/ altered state of mind is not called a dissociation type alter by my own treatment provider.
I have had and have many different kinds of alters that are because of many different mental and physical health problems. some were dissociative (which have all been integrated/ became one with me to form one whole person again, some people call this merged and others call this mashed up together and others call it by other wordings ) and I have had, do have others are not.
different locations and treatment providers go by different rules and guidelines. to find out what kind of alters you have and if they are part of your dissociative problems or because of another mental problem you will need to contact your own treatment provider or one in your off the computer location.
