yea dont worry about that scoring. usually the scores are not in the something. something range and high score doesnt always mean a person has DID.. example my DES score was actually under 30. and I was diagnosed DID.

its all individualized and even normal people can score 98% on the DES. diagnostics for DID do not require a DES scoring. there are now other more reliable tests, some of them if you have DID you get low scores and some if you have DID you get high scores.

so yea good choice in just concentrating healing and what your treatment provider has you on for a treatment plan.
