what does this mean over all? getting a "no disorder, no condition" diagnosis just says my fears of becoming DID again is not found to be true as in I am not DID again. it lets treatment providers know that this is an area that I am having a problem with (having anxiety over having a specific mental disorder category)

its like someone who has been in a hurricane is extremely distressed that they may be in a hurricane again, or someone who knows someone with cancer will be extremely afraid that they have cancer. or someone who is extremely afraid they may have a specific mental disorder....

sometimes people are so afraid and upset that they may have a specific mental disorder that it causes problems for them. now (since October 2018) theres a way to diagnose this problem.

now because one of my OSDD diagnosis's is OSDD - no disorder, no condition. my treatment provider and any that I may have in the future, understands that sometimes I will be having fears and anxiety over whether or not my problems are DID or not.

Each time I go through this fear of being afraid my DID is coming back my treatment provider must address the problem, actually diagnose whether my problem is DID related or not, if what ever fears I bring to her turns out to be not a disorder or condition my files will say so.

how does this affect my other diagnosis's.... all this does is gives a way to diagnose when someone is …………….afraid / having anxiety …….. over having a mental disorder no matter what the category....

example I am not diagnosed with autism but if I was having extreme fear and anxiety over whether or not I was autistic my treatment provider would have to go through the process of finding out whether I had autism, and if it turned out I did not I would receive the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder - no disorder no condition on my files and be told I do not have autism.

Every disorder now includes the diagnosis of no disorder, no condition.

I am very happy that this problem is recognized and is now a diagnostic label. so many times since integration I have had great anxiety and fear over whether or not this or that was an alter that we may have missed, whether or not I would unintegrated, all those illogical fears because of my having a past diagnosis of DID. now my treatment provider can work on my anxiety and fear about this past disorder of mine.
