I've seen online DID tests, but are there any tests for OSDD? Someone made the following post on the differences. Is it true?

Quote,

Quote:
There are multiple subtypes of OSDD. The most common are OSDD-1a and OSDD-1b.

I actually don't know which is which, but one is separate personalities with no amnesia while the other is less separate personalities with amnesia.

DID is separate personalities AND amnesia. If by coconscious you mean no amnesia, then that wouldn't fall into the diagnostic criteria for DID.

Also there's DDNOS.

https://information.pods-online.org....oes-it-matter/

Quote:
According to the American Psychological Association, the predominant feature of DDNOS is:

a dissociative symptom (ie a disruption in the usually integrative functions of consciousness, memory, identity, or perception of the environment) that does not meet the criteria for any specific dissociative disorder.

(APA, 2000, p.503)

In other words, someone with DDNOS has dissociative symptoms but they do not meet sufficient criteria to be diagnosed with either depersonalisation disorder, dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue or dissociative identity disorder.

Does it bother anyone that mainstream psychologist always have an exception for broadly accepted cultural or religious practices? Ug that really bothers me, as if you're really messed up ... unless you're part of a big religion. Give me a break. OMG............ That places an even larger wedge between academic scientists and psychologist, even though psychology is supposed to be part of the sciences.

I'm guessing there's a more detailed DSM 5 section on DID because I didn't see any mention of OSDD there.

Don't mean to start a rant, but I just have to say something else on this... "Sure, if you believe there's an angry, wrathful, jealous, vengeful God sitting on a throne who speaks to some people, who created the Universe and a lake of fire so bad people can be tortured forever, but won't give anyone a shred of rational evidence, then yup, you're fine and dandy, but otherwise you're a nutjob."

Okay I feel better now.

Because, if they don't include that "exception," then suddenly a few billion people on Earth have a mental disorder and hundreds of millions of people who hear "God" and other religious figures have a serious mental disorder. ... That's annoying.

Where does it provide the distinctions between OSDD-1a and OSDD-1b?

That's fine, and thanks for the info. I'm no longer interested in the online test. For the most part I'm just discouraged about the present state of psychology. I mean, therapists who are there to help you emotionally or whatever is great, but all of the stuff about giving people titles to what disorder they have I personally would stay clear from. I have serious issues with DSM 5 when it basically says you're fine and dandy if you hear "God" or "Jesus" or an "Angel of God" or "Buddha" or "Allah" speak to you, but if it's an "ET," then you could very well have serious issues. And a lot of the medicines they subscribe scare me. Some medicines appear to be helpful to a lot of people, although definitely not everyone, but there are some medicines that have side effects I wouldn't take for anything.

Years ago, but I know from experience that it's no longer valid and has changed a lot for the better. I might take it again if it's not too long. It'll be interesting to see how it's changed.

I just took it. It's a lot better and completely different than last time. There's only one serious concern now, Self-Esteem, but who cares about that. I don't. A few years ago this same test said I had 11 serious concerns. To be honest, given the relatively few number of questions it asked, I think this test is not very accurate because it covers so many areas. A person would have to spend a lot of time with me to get a good grasp what's happening, and then they might want to put me in a psych ward.

Sanity Score: 92

General Coping 43

Depression 44
Anxiety 58

But then again I'm 100% certain they don't or wouldn't understand some people such as myself. So such a diagnosis would be meaningless.
