I did more checking on this new dissociative disorder diagnosis label called (disorder category ) - No Disorder, No condition...
from what I can find on google and other avenues (my treatment providers and others) apparently since NOS labeling was discontinued insurance and treatment providers have been having a problem with how to treat and bill those that were presenting with disorders but not meeting the stricter diagnostics put in place in 2013.
therefore a new diagnosis was added to the DSM 5 in October 2018....
Other Mental Disorders - No disorder, No condition.
It is for any mental disorder where....
someone is clinically distressed about having a mental disorder that they do not have, this distress is affecting their life in some way (ie social, occupational or other important areas.)
Someone is presenting with mental disorder symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostics criteria for any mental disorders.
Someone who is presenting with mental disorder symptoms due to a medical problem but do not meet the full diagnostics for a mental disorder caused by a medical condition.
in other words it is the new version of the NOS labeling of the past with a twist. …
A name that no one wants, ( in order to prevent people from wanting to have the NOS disorders of the past, )
since NOS disorders were discontinued 2013 a person who comes in presenting with these now no longer existing disorder labels or disorders for which they do not meet the diagnostic criteria for will be told they have no disorder, no condition and their insurance will be given the no disorder, no condition coding and their files will reflect that they do not have a disorder / do not have a condition.
please keep in mind that diagnostics, symptoms and problems you find online may not be what those disorders are when you researching. treatment providers get periodic updates (supplemental Updates) that frequently change these things. example what you see about Dissociative Disorders symptoms and problems online may not actually be what it is today, tomorrow, a month or year from now.
now that there is this new disorder label called no disorder, no condition many who rely on the internet may end up with this label if they go according to the internet and not know what the standards for today are....
I mean, with out any researching I did not expect to get this diagnosis simply because I was distressed over whether or not we missed integrating one of my alters due to internet responses to my normal part of self. I can only imagine someone like my sibling going all out and convinced 100% of something and then be given a no disorder no condition diagnosis.
people wanted NOS disorders back and it is, same diagnostic criteria, better worded, more clearly named and defined for what it was and is....
other mental disorders - no disorder, no condition. for those that do not meet the full diagnostics and do not have a mental disorder.
if you have a NOS disorder of any kind you may want to talk with your treatment providers so that they can rediagnose your problems as being a disorder so that you don't get labeled with no disorder, no condition diagnosis now that this label has been added to the DSM 5.
