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

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.
https://psychiatryonline.org/pb-asse...ctober2018.pdf
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. |
for those that cant click into the link this is what it says.....
Other Mental Disorders Addition of No Diagnosis or Condition [October 2018] (DSM-5: p. 707; Desk Reference: p. 341) As updated For related coding updates, see October 1, 2018 ICD-10-CM Coding Updates in Detail, under Other Mental Disorders. Reason for update The lack of the no diagnosis code in DSM-5 has created issues in healthcare systems where providers are obligated to bill using DSM-5 codes, and APA frequently receives inquiries about its omission. With the added code, providers will be able to indicate when they've conducted an evaluation and have identified that a patients clinical presentation does not meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis.
Chapter title page, title, p. 707 (Desk Reference, p. 341)
Other Mental Disorders and Additional Codes
Chapter title page, text, p. 707 (not applicable to Desk Reference)
Four disorders are included in this chapter: other specified mental disorder due to another medical condition; unspecified mental disorder due to another medical condition; other specified mental disorder; and unspecified mental disorder. Theseis residual categoriesy applyies to presentations in which symptoms characteristic of a mental disorder that cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any other mental disorder in DSM-5. For other specified and unspecified mental disorders due to another medical condition, it must be established that the disturbance is caused by the physiological effects of another medical condition. If other specified and unspecified mental disorders are due to another medical condition, it is necessary to code and list the medical condition first (e.g., 042 [B20] HIV disease), followed by the other specified or unspecified mental disorder (use appropriate code). This chapter also includes an additional code, no diagnosis or condition, for situations in which the individual has been evaluated and it is determined that no mental disorder or condition is present.
if you read the text carefully you will see the diagnostic criteria for getting this new label is like I previously posted...
it is for people who are showing symptoms and problems associated with mental disorders but do not meet the full diagnostics for a mental disorder
it is also for people who do not have any mental disorders at all.
example I used and why I was given this new diagnostic label was my non DID part...
I was worried about having a mental disorder that I no longer have due to my normal part of self called rescuer. (this fit in with this new diagnostic label for the second diagnostic... I do not at this time have DID, I have a past diagnosis of DID but not now since all my alters are integrated and have been for many years) this fear and anxiety over having a possible left over alter which turns out to be no disorder no condition.
to find out if you fit the new diagnostic label called Other Mental Disorder- no disorder, no condition you will need to contact your treatment providers to see if
A you are having symptoms and problems that do not fit the full diagnostics of a mental disorder
or B you do not have any mental disorder at all.
Again this does
...Not...
...change anything about OSDD disorders.
like I keep saying it just gives your treatment providers a way to diagnose and label when you do not meet the full diagnostic criteria or when you don't have any mental disorder.
for those with NOS disorders if you look up the past diagnostics for NOS disorders you will see that NOS disorders and this new diagnostic label are one and the same, just with a new name.
example when DDNOS was
.one...
of my dissociative disorders this was the diagnostic description of it.....
Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) is diagnosed when a person has certain symptoms of a dissociative disorder, but does not necessarily match the criteria completely for any one disorder. Dissociative Disorder NOS includes the loss of control over mental processes, awareness, memory, identity, personality, perception, physical connection to reality, et cetera.
Same thing as Other Mental Disorder - no disorder, no condition.
when they got rid of the diagnostic name of DDNOS all my DDNOS problems transferred over to being many different OSDD disorder names.
and now my treatment provider is going through my "symptoms and problems" and assessing where they fit if my symptoms and problems fit the full diagnostics for a mental disorder I will mental disorder labels and if we cone across a problem. symptom that does not fit the full diagnostics.. just like my normal part of self called rescuer, these normal problems and normal symptoms will be labeled Other Mental Disorder - No disorder, no condition.
My point is everyone is getting in an uproar over the simple fact that NOS diagnostics are back with a new name and because of the new name they are thinking their treatment providers are saying they don't have the problems and symptoms that they do, quite the opposite, this new label says a person
.is...
...having problems and symptoms, the problems and symptoms just don't fit the full diagnostic criteria for a mental disorder.
