Its come to my attention on my other forums that I may have upset a few people with this bombshell that there is a new OSDD disorder or that OSDD diagnostics have changed..... posts are appearing on other forums that I am a member of pointing people to this thread of mine so I thought I would make sure people had an actual link to the new updates for the DSM 5 that are now in the public viewing area of the APA's website.

OSDD diagnostics have ………….Not...……………..changed, when diagnosed with OSDD you will still get diagnosed with OSDD- another mental disorder name that is on the treatment providers listing...………......if ……………...you still fit the full diagnostics for those Other Specified Dissociative Disorders like tachypsychia, macropsia, dissociative stupor, Microamnesia and others (theres lots of them)

for the disorder labeling which is different than having OSDD ………...Every...……….. mental disorder in the DSM 5 now has a new label …………..Added to it.

example you know how NOS was for every disorder in the book...………….bipolar NOS PTSD NOS, Dissociative Dsirders NOS....

well now ……………..EVery ......…….mental category in the book now has a diagnostic Label called

Other Mental Disorder - no disorder, no condition.. This label is not changing any mental disorder diagnostics. its a label all its own, by its self. it does not change anything other than gives people who do not fit a mental disorder diagnosis a name of their own. that's all it is. a new diagnosis label being added to the DSM 5.

you can not find this new "label" by doing a google search, You Can not find this new label in the DSM 5 located in your library.

the updates are called "Supplemental Updates October 2018" that is what you must search google for in order to find the new diagnostic label. Supplemental Updates are from the American Psychiatric Association. they have a treatment providers area where treatment providers are told updates, and when to put them in use and comment on them. then after a certain amount of time usually months to a year later the "Supplemental Updates go public.

if you want to read other supplemental updates just go to the American psychiatric associations website, and click on supplemental updates. there is a whole list of them archived there that are public viewing. the page is updated as the supplemental updates move from being treatment providers only board to the public viewing.

here is the link to the now public Supplemental Updates October 2018. the diagnostic label ……..…...Other Mental Disorder - no disorder no condition is on page 24.

for those using the ICD 10 and 11 this new diagnostic label is not new, the UK and other places the ICD have been using "no disorder no condition" labeling for over 10 years.
