I too am sorry if I offended anyone. The conversation wasnt about whether or not someone here was faking a mental disorder.

In the thread about my diagnostics I wrote that my college professor told me that the diagnosis DDNOS is for when you dont have all the symptoms for one dissociative disorder and is also sometimes used when someone is faking.

I got a reply back saying she had never heard of DDNOS being used for people who fake it.

I replied back giving details about two people that I met in the hospital where DDNOS was used for those two people in the hospital that were faking it the first ones reason for faking it was because she was trying to use the mental illness defense for shoplifting and the other person in the hospital did it to have a warm place to stay for the weekend because she was homeless.

I didnt mean anyone here to take that conversation to mean there were people here that were faking it.
