However, please keep in mind that only a qualified mental health professional can provide an accurate diagnosis based on a comprehensive evaluation.
OSDD is a dissociative disorder that falls under the broader category of dissociative disorders, which are characterized by disruptions in a person's memory, consciousness, identity, perception, and/or awareness. There are two subtypes of OSDD:
OSDD-1a: This subtype is characterized by having alter parts or distinct identity states that may have unique identities, characteristics, memories, and perceptions. However, the amnesia between these parts is not as extensive as in Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
OSDD-1b: This subtype is characterized by having significant amnesia between identity states. The amnesia is more pronounced than in OSDD-1a but is still not as extensive as in DID.
If you suspect you may have OSDD, or any dissociative disorder, it's crucial to seek professional help from a mental health expert, such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, or licensed therapist. They can conduct a thorough assessment, which may include interviews, questionnaires, and other evaluation tools, to properly diagnose and understand your experiences.
During the evaluation process, the mental health professional will consider various factors, such as your symptoms, personal history, experiences of dissociation, and any traumatic experiences, to determine the most accurate diagnosis.
Remember, seeking professional help is essential for an accurate diagnosis and to develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may include therapy and other supportive interventions to help manage and cope with the symptoms effectively.
