It is important to note that even the least differentiated OSDD-1b parts are still more differentiated, separate, and autonomous than the most developed parts that can be present in borderline personality disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, or complex posttraumatic stress disorder, none of which involve dissociated parts that have a unique sense of self or self history. Even OSDD-1a parts are often more differentiated than the pure dissociated trauma materials, emotions, or attachment needs present in these latter disorders. As well, some individuals with OSDD-1b do have highly distinct alters such as those often found in DID. For these individuals, the main defining factor is their lack of inter-identity amnesia.

thanks so much (((((Moxie)))))) for stating at the top of your post that what you were going to post was the UK breakdown not the USA. this really helped me to understand your post.
in another post you stated.....
"Ohhhh....I have that all wrong then. So it is OSDD? No Identity in it?"
here in the USA there is no I or identity in the name of the disorder, here it is OSDD. not OSDID.
here the symptom of identity problems is .....less than..... not more than. meaning a person has less than / very little or just a tiny bit of problems with Identity. its very different than having DID here.
so as to not confuse posters in a majority of the world where the DSM 5 standards are used (there is now only 4 countries that do not use the DSM -5 standards along with their own diagnostic manuals) here is what the DSM -5 OSDD diagnostics are. as you can see in the diagnostics some of the actual OSDD mental disorders are listed, some are not...
here in the USA the numbers do not represent a type of OSDD. the numbers just represent the list of diagnostic criteria.... kind of like if you were making a shopping list and wrote cake on the top line and underneath wrote 1. flour, 2 salt, 3 sugar, 4 butter..... here in the USA the numbers just represent the .....diagnostic criteria......(what gets a person diagnosed with OSDD) the actual mental disorder/disorders are on a list that treatment providers use that the general public does not usually get to see. here in america you dont get diagnosed with OSDD -1 or OSDD -3 you get actual diagnostic names like macropsia, micro amnesia, and others.
keep in mind that some of this may have changed in wording or criteria based on the supplemental updates that the American Psychiatric Association has made available to treatment providers after the publication of the DSM 5....
Other Specified Dissociative Disorder 300.15 (F44.89)
the DSM 5 states....
This category applies to presentations in which symptoms characteristic of a dissociative disorder that causes 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 Other Specified Dissociative Disorder category is used in situations in which the clinician chooses to communicate the specific reason that the presentation does not meet the criteria for any specific dissociative disorder. This is done by recording "Other Specified Dissociative Disorder" followed by the specific reason (e.g. "Dissociative Trance")
Examples of presentations that can be specified using the "other specified" designation include the following:
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.
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.
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)
4 Dissociative Trance: This condition is characterized by an acute narrowing or complete loss of awareness of immediate surroundings that manifests as profound unresponsiveness or insensitivity to environmental stimuli. the unresponsiveness may be accompanied by minor stereotyped behaviors (e.g. finger movements) of which the individual is unaware and/or that he or she can not control, as well as transient paralysis or loss of consciousness. The dissociative trance is not a normal part of a broadly accepted collective cultural or religious practice.
these are what I am asking about .... do you know what the name of your OSDD diagnosis is.
your other post moxie..... I am not asking for research articles. my research project is completed thanks anyway ((((((Moxie)))))) I asked that your research article post be moved to its own thread so that if you and others want to talk about research articles you still can do that with out losing your link.
