A deep dive into DSM vs ICD criteria would be interesting, along with exploring the intersections of [c]PTSD, dissociative disorders, and BPD. Also the prevalence of co-morbid depressive disorders across that whole group of trauma associated conditions.
Here's the best possible way to tell if someone is faking a disorder: if they feel the need to announce it a lot or love to gain attention from their disorder, nine times out of ten, they are faking it. Suffering from a disorder, especially DID is not something they feel proud of. Key word is SUFFER, as they can never truly lead a normal life. It just really sucks that all these pretenders are faking a disorder, cause it makes a real sufferer look bad
are you a they? well we do make sure to tell our caretakers such as physicians. that's important. hey 9 out of 10, dude, did you due a suryvey? hey hey hey
I like your videos and I have subscribed ❤️! , I want to tell you something related to your channel growth. I always observe how some educational channels are growing since I’m subscribed to lots of them, some have 1k subs and some 160k. All you need from my opinion is 1- don’t use music in the background it’s distracting, when someone is learning they will watch the whole video cus they want to learn you don’t need to make it fun. 2- use some texts in the video when you mention a new point. 3- upload videos continuesly. 4- talk from your experience share some things that will make the viewer feel the connection and they will continue learning from your channel.
@PsychologyWorks DID is hard and varies for anyone who has it. For me personally... Its like a weird state of conciousness similar to sleep. "Dormant" is what i call it. When a personality Fronts, the others/me are existing in conciousness but it feels similar to sleep. Other times my personalities are genuinely sleeping and will just stop responding or amyting for some time. Im still trying to figure out everything. My boyfriend talks to them himself and tries to help me with them too.
I have this since early childhood. But dont remember abuse in young childhood at first didnt believe the doctors diagnosing me thought they are crazy. And was very angry at diagnoses because i been this way my whole life damn near doesnt make sense i have different people with in one body but no early childhood trauma even when i was fist diagnosed at age 5 ill never unsterstand the cause but tired of hearing the word trauma just because of how i am im just a human like everyone else and hell no ones life was perfect we all have issues in life some people just hid it more than others .i have no family or real friends because of this disorder so to speak it hurts deeply and if anything is traumatizing its that
@@DrGreenaway I also have DID but I like the jazz music with it 😅 (if you ever want to offer a video version with music, what you could do is upload it as an unlisted video and then copy and paste that url into the description of the video without music). (-so people can choose whichever option helps them learn the information better. Plus, your music choice is awesome).
I heard that the DSM 5 came together when a bunch of specialists in the field decided on what diagnosis look (and based on personal opinions) like to them/what they agreed on and not anything related to actual studies. Is this true? Can you look into the history of the DSM 5 and how it all came together?
It started in the 1950s as a small pamphlet and has grown to the big book it is today. The specialists in the field are the ones doing and reading the research. Their whole careers are based around reading studies and doing studies on the disorders for which they contribute. It's not always 100% accurate, but it is based on the current research, which later research will improve upon.
I wish there was more study. I became recently aware, I've been taking notes, & well,... studying myself & realizing the past the best I'm able & whatever memories I do have or find, or "allowed to know" i take into account, there have been a ton of obvious signs & I wonder how on Earth did I not know or even let it cross my mind something was wrong? I have a variety of disorders but they seem to be "shared" or "turn taking' I'm not sure how else to describe. It's as if part of me would be sick, another part anxious, depressed, agoraphobic, then there's a part who's almost none of those things. It's very strange. But I'm hoping to save everything & write a book "experiencing the experience" a look from within the minds of many. There are different memories for sure, for example.. one asked if I ever had minced pie? Meat pie? I think, & no way I would ever eat that lol nor do I recall ever eating it but was told when, also I get descriptions of places I've never been but I look it up and there it is. How do I have such detailed memories of places I'm pretty certain I've never been? That last one is very distressing for two reasons, one a place might have been a beautiful visit, but not remembering being there kinda sucks lol I have no pictures of anything either, or very little, I've lost so much in a divorce after getting out of an abusive marriage. My whole life is wiped clean since my 2nd son was born. I dissociated and lost 5 years I don't remember my child's life from a few months after birth to about 5 yrs old. Everything before is bits and pieces to childhood where I recall a serious traumatic event, more an encounter, after that is blank. Everything after marriage till now feels like I've been on auto pilot. So it's very important to me to gather as much as I can on my own, things get difficult. & I'm very willing to seek help the moment it becomes too much. I think it's important I do this on my own first, there are a lot of curious things that happen that a few people talk about/share/theorize I want to explore before allowing professionals into my head to tell me it's either amazing, interesting, curious, all in my head, or my hopes, "that's something to add to the book!" Lol I would like to contribute any new knowledge to the disorder that is not well understood. An open mind is important. There's so much we don't know about the human brain and I'm finding out exactly how amazing it can be. Just being aware & "watching/listening/observing" when I can. 🙃 Sorry for this book! It's normal for us lol
That's true. Good point. Also, I wouldn't be surprised that if other prevalence studies are carried out that there will be a wide disparity in the findings, depending on location, type of setting, how the researchers are defining and measuring the construct as well as other factors. That tends to happen when studying prevalence rates.
Dr please do additional research on the 1.5 % - for example Major Depression what is that percentage? What is the percentage of red heads? You will find it very similar- so NO it’s not that rare. The extreme version of DID IS rare yet no the actual # of people affected by it in lesser forms that what’s on tv - Ty for what you do. Thank you
I suffer from DID an have dealt with it my whole life. My husband and kids have dealt with it our whole lifes. What they dont put in the DSM is the ailments and health issues it causes. You may learn on those issues on my page. Many many that have been diagnosed and really do have it have records of health issues. Even brain scans can help assesments.
@@DrGreenawayThat would be neat. Also diagnosed with DID. It’s so weird sometimes. Very much like watching my body do and say things I wouldn’t normally do or say. Especially younger parts that show up. Crying, temper tantrums, or angry trauma reactions. I was mostly aware at times, but severely dissociated and not fully in control. And sometimes my voice will change, though not always. It’s so weird and scary and embarrassing.
@@DrGreenawayI’ve also experienced a fugue state. A really nasty one. But have little miniature fugue states pretty frequently. Thanks for talking through these symptoms. Helps me see myself more clearly and understand what’s happening. Definitely messes with my functioning, and I felt literally demon-possessed at times. Just angry/hurt child parts inside of me. And none of it’s been caused by drugs, because I avoid them like the plague.
i don't say i have DID but i have bpd and don't know who i am im rick social john doe wants to be left alone void who is empty inside jack who takes the pain jessica the drinking gal we are ourselves james the child but we dissociate more when we drink weed helps with functioning but day by day its harder im john doe people are rude and anoying i hate them drinking helps me exsist but i don't know how to deal with humans i hate rude humans its torture the memory fluctuations is terrible i know i speak to people but conversations are hard to remember

Have you ever been a passenger in the back seat of a car? You can sometimes see and hear where the car is going but you have no control.
That's genius
Good analogy. That would assume you can both see and hear the driver and or other passengers.

did you write the song i just listened to? do you write your own songs. your voice is byond beyond. XOXO
Thanks for making this videos❤️!! Keep going
For someone with DID…..the background jazz music is so distracting😮
I plan to not have background music in the next one. Thanks for the tip.
@@DrGreenaway I also have DID but I like the jazz music with it 😅

That 1.5% does not include the many people who have gone undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
