your profile says you are in the USA.... just something I noticed in rereading this post....type 1b DDNOS is not something we have here in the USA.
converting this UK diagnosis to american .... DDNOS is called UDD (Unspecified Dissociative Disorder) here.
if you look in the american diagnostics you will find that this is...
as many are aware the Diagnostic label DDNOS has been eliminated from the DSM. DDNOS is now called ...
Unspecified Dissociative Disorder 300.15 (F44.9)
under this diagnostic label the DSM 5 states....
this category applies to presentations in which symptoms characteristic of dissociative disorder that cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any of the disorders in the dissociative disorders diagnostic class. the Unspecified dissociative disorder category is used in situations in which the clinician chooses not to specify the reason that the criteria are not met for a specific dissociative disorder, and includes presentations for which there is insignificant information to make a more specific diagnosis (e.g. in emergency room settings)
like I said in another thread you might want to take into consideration your location when you are trying to diagnose what your problems are, other wise you may end up diagnosing your self with either a no longer existing mental disorder or the wrong one.
example if you went to your treatment provider and said I think I have DDNOS they would kind of look at you and ask when did you go to the ER since the last time you saw them and what did the ER people tell you. or they would ask you for the name of the treatment provider that diagnosed you with DDNOS to find out why they are not disclosing to you that you have something other than a dissociative disorder because of the change over to the new system in 2013.
please, please be careful in this trying to figure out where you fit in on diagnosis labels and things.
dont worry so much about what things are called and keep working on your integration process that your treatment provider is trying to do for and with you. thats what matters,
but if you feel you must continue to research please keep your location in mind so that you dont cause yourself more harm then good.
