What is Body integrity identity disorder? Symptoms, Causes & Treatments (BIID)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Body integrity identity disorder (or BIID) which is characterized by a desire to be amputated or paralyzed due to a mismatch between one’s ideal body image and the actual physical appearance. As a result victims of BIID believe a part of their body does not belong to them.
It is also known as Body integrity dysphoria, amputee identity disorder, voluntary amputation, transabled, Apotemnophilia, and xenomelia.

I don't think it's properly characterized as "a desire to be disabled." It's rather a desire to rid oneself of something that feels alien. If the desire was "to be disabled," the person wouldn't be picky. You could lop off a random limb or damage their spine and they'd be happy. But the person wants to get rid of, say, their left leg from the knee down. If they lost the right leg in an accident, they'd be disabled, but they'd still want to get rid of the alien-feeling left lower leg.
You are absolutely right! sorry about the mislabeling.
i have this and it's exactly as you're saying, it's not about disability, it's the limb
Indeed. It is not about a desire to be disabled for disability's sake, but about wanting to correct (a) specific wrong(s).
I only found out about this when I were in my 20s googling for answer to the annoying feel which leads me to temporarily numb my lower limbs whenever it triggers. I do not wish to be labelled transabled, I simply wish to get rid of this permanently and live a normal life rather than thinking about severing my own limbs. My best option was to meditate, for those out there who suffering the same, try meditating, it helped me very much, hope it works for you too.
Thank you
i have this, most of it is correct, but there are a few issues. firstly, we don't use transabled, most other biid sufferers hate that term. just saying biid is fine, we don't mind. it's also not about being disabled, it's about removing the limb that feels foreign. it doesn't sound like a big difference, but it is. also, it isn't caused by brain _damage_ per se, it's just a difference in structure in the part of our brain that maps our bodies. it's from birth, and just as much "brain damage" as autism or adhd is. (that is to say, not brain damage at all.)
otherwise, great vid. hope it can spread awareness about biid, it's a terrible condition
So how are you doing now
@@nufailanoon i'm doing great
@@franz.francisco really? I really wish you all the best ❤️😍
As a BIID sufferer, I would describe it as not wanting to actually be disabled, but just the need to remove the affected limb.
Thank you for the input. Would you rather describe it as "Being uncomfortable with being able bodied?"
@@TinyMedicine not necessarily. if there was a way to detach the idea of being disabled from the equation, i would still have the same feelings.
@@coda7626 I really have not been to public with my desire to become a amputee also I am female now I pretend to be a amputee my arm and leg
@@coda7626 I have had a few messages from men that would give up their package for me to amputate a limb they want me to
@@TinyMedicine hi medicine it is very hard trying to explain why people feel the way they do
I'll be honest: I've totally thought about the cool factor of having a metal arm like Anakin Skywalker. But I think that's a little different from this.
Yeah it's different. Hell as a kid I wanted a broken arm just for attention, but even THAT is different from BIID
Prosthetic arm is weaker than normal (maybe punch is stronger but definitely less agile)
Always makes me happy to see you pop up in my feed 😁. Neurology is a complicated and abstract subject (less than psychiatry but still) and understanding it can be quite hard at times like these where dysphoria is both used by people that actually suffer from that condition and other that want to use it for an ideology (even if they're the minority), confusing people even more about a medical condition. Starting by the brain is a beautiful and easy to understand way to do it. Keep up the good work this channel will blow up I'm sure of that🔥
Wow. This comment made my day! Thanks a lot for the kind words!
@The Hacker AnnoymousDefendsMrBossFTWFromVelumFive if you do please give it to a hospital as a organ donation, many disabled people like accident survivors would apreciate that.
I think it’s weird, I used to think I had biid because I always wanted to be paralyzed and use a wheelchair and I’m now disabled (not intentionally) and I wish I could go back to when I wasn’t.
Life is like that unfortunately. Don't lose hope my friend! I'm sure so many good things are ahead of you.
I feel like i'm suffering biid for years but I don't know where or who to talk to, in my country there are not many or even no cases like this, i once spoke to a psychology specialist in an online forum but she gave me a lecture about religion and how i should be grateful even though i already said don't want to be like this either, i don't know why I feel like this. This thing just become so anoying as i grow up, i really wish i could make this stop
This is done really well for a small channel. Excellent job.
I'm glad you like it
I'm sure someone's already said this but "transabled" isn't really a term that people with BID (including myself) generally use because it's not actually very accurate.
Also, siting sources in the description would probably be a good idea.
fuck, citing not siting.
Was looking for this comment lol
Wow thank you so much for this video! I am researching on a project for this and I got so confused on what BIID is and with this video it helped me a lot! I will be using this for my project lesson thanks again and yes i know i am late but just wanted to say thanks keep up the good work also I subbed!!
Thank you for the lovely complements!
@@TinyMedicine No problem!!!
I have bid and i really want to amputate my leg. this explains so much.
the fact im a trans guy and want to blind myself in one eye leaves me with many questions for my therapist after this video
I really admire how you intend to face this. I hope you'll figure out answers to your questions soon.
if you get any good advice from them let me know, i'm desperate lol
As an amputee by Motorcycle accident in 1987, such people who want limbs
cut off by choice need serious help. This is crazy, such people are
seriously mentally ill. Having one Arm is life changing.
It's in the name disorder
100% agree.
Did you watch the video? It’s a neurological condition. They aren’t choosing to want to be disabled.
impressive video yet again!!
Thank you!
Sounds like transgender
Sometimes one of my legs or an arm feels like it's not mine.
I DO NOT WANT A DAMNED AMPUTATION!
The feeling normally doesn't last too long, but I can't sleep when a limb feels like this.
If I'm in bed, trying to sleep, I HAVE to get up, make myself a cup of coffee and take a pain tablet even though I am not in pain as such.
It's just that the limb feels wierd.
I suffer from major back pain, and walk with a cane.
I can't stand for too long.
Sometimes a nerve pinches, randomly effecting a leg temporarily, making loose support in that leg.
Most of the time I catch myself or hold onto a wall for support.
I do not know if my back problems are related to my temporary borrowed leg syndrome.
Since my back pain seems confined to my lower back, I can't see how that might affect my arms occasionally.
Because of this recurring problem, my sleep patterns are irregular.
Luckily I am unemployed or my work would suffer!
I don't know if this is a psychological or physical malady.
I take as few painkillers as possible, fearing addiction, so don't think I'm a pill popping drug fiend, in fact I've learned to live with the near constant low intensity back pains.
Maybe I have BIID on a budget?
(Yes, my sense if humour is still intact, as laughing is better than crying.)
This is great and helpful thanks!
Glad it was helpful.
Can you perhaps also give a solution? For now the only thing that I can find is a support group online or a psychiater that treats me as if I am ill ... both not a great solution
I'm wondering too... i'm sorry i just wanted to leave mark in your comment column, maybe one day someone else will reply your comment with a solution
Welcome back... it was good
Oh my mate! Thanks a lot.
Is there a similar condition to BIID that would be characterized by the desire to be mentally disabled instead of physically disabled?
good Question
not that I know of but biid isn't about disability, it's about the limb being foreign feeling, like a parasite you don't want attached, and neural pathways don't feel that way.
What I still fail to understand or failed to find an answer is what is the difference from this and gender dysphoria. Both stem from the same place. The brain. And yet for gender dysphoria, we prescribe the amputation of healthy organs and the masking of the "gender".
What about a limb that is causing a lot of pain and discomfort for a few days each month? To the extent that I can't walk?
Then it doesn't fall under BIID. The cause for the pain should be explored first.
possibly nerve damage, arthritis or something? I have rumatoid.
There is a bunch of quite gross mistakes in this video... Better information gathering should be done and better preparation should be taken...
Thanks for the feedback. Please kindly share those mistakes- so I can correct them. Thanks.
Andrew Anglin and Snake Baker sent me it's 4-10-24 😥👍🏻
interesting video !
Thank you!
@@TinyMedicine my girlfriend wants me to become a amputee
i love your videos so much 😭😭😭
Thank you! Appreciate it a lot.
Wow this is so interesting as a disabled person who uses mobility aids because I have CRPS a rare chronic pain condition with no cure and EDS with no cure but I found this very interesting
Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the comment. How are you coping with the illness? It takes real guts to handle chronic pain.
Tiny Medicine thanks I am coping so so at the moment
You said :”a damage to the right hemisphere” but you showed the left😊sorry
So it is unethical to remove a limb or an eye to treat disphoria, but perfectly okay to remove a breast or penis?
Removing healthy body parts -- whether limbs or breasts etc. is mutilation.
Neither is okay.
more cis men get mastectomies than trans men and vaginoplasty is an inversion rather than a removal. learn about trans people before being a bigot about us.
It depends on the severity of the condition.
Having a leg amputated seems like a really weird way to get your kicks
its not for "kicks" it brings relief. its not a fetish.
@@iminavegetativestatestudio1730 -_-
I understand you're being serious, but I was making a joke and you missed the punchline.
But hey, on a serious note, explain the "relief" aspect of this. Not only do I have intermittent, sporadic RLS (and don't seriously consider getting an amputation) but I've also only heard from the side of this that includes the fetishes.
Nice to see you back..That was quite good..Why not do transgendered? I've had two friends with that.
Hello daci! Hope you are doing well. Thanks a lot. Yes that's a good topic to cover. Thanks for your kind support 😍
@@TinyMedicine Yes I am. I've been ill but had a cardioversion for afib and am way better now.. Your welcome on the support. I enjoy learning unmusical but interesting facts.
I'm really glad you are better now. Since you have a sound knowledge in medicine, I'm sure you are taking good care of yourself.
@@TinyMedicine Yep, I sure am. I hope you hsve a nice evening.
Maybe the guy is nuts, crazy, insane
What if i just want awesome prosthetic hands and legs??
There is a halo prosthetic arm
is it ok To use ur photage with your credits in it ?
does apotemnophilia have anything to do with this ??
apotemnophilia was what BIID used to be called, it's very outdated. The fetish probably still exists separately tho.
Hi there, I have BIID! If anyone knows of any studies or anything that needs volunteers or participants please let me know.
I have it too, so I also wanna know
Now I believe in reincarnation: some of us reincarnated with complete physical capabilities, in our past lives they must be partially incapable person :
If I were to amputate my leg voluntarily it would be so I could build a better prosthetic while using My own leg to test this. Not some disorder
Me too. Unfortunately it's not the case for BIID patients.
at 1:40 ...shocking !
FOOTLESS JO SENT ME HERE
Maybe some people
Want to be disable because they wonder how it feels?
Yeah! you are right- that could be one reason.
True.
This is 1 affliction I can't understand. It seems almost masochistic. As a kid though I did think blind people were bad@$$ cuz they often had guide dogs 🐶
its not masochism. it is not a desire for pain, but a desire to remove something they feel doesnt belong.
My mom has this from reading the bible she wanted to cut off her arm because it had metal in it which is against God she feels
Could there be damage to the brain that also can cause an attraction to people that are missing a limb? I have heard of this theory before and the connection with transgenderism. However trans ideas are not always the case.
Good point. I saw it on some research papers as well. I'm not sure about the strength of the correlation though. I'll read more about it. Thanks for bringing this up.
I think I have this
Could you or should you try to be happy otherwise?
Everybody suffers for things we don’t have or we are not. I would like to be 6’3 handsome billionnaire Doctor. But i am not.
SO I WE DEAL WITH IT.
Welcome to 2021
This will be the year we beat covid-19
@@TinyMedicine and covid-20
This sounds completely ridiculous but whatever. Now I feel bad for the people who had no choice and had their limbs cut off to become beggars in third world countries. Why not donate it to them?
Hi there ! Do you'll think that Autogynephilia is also a BII Disorder ? It does have some sexual aspects, but it definitely has some similarities to BIID. There are some people who receive relief from transitioning in the short term, many others detransition, because they feel uncomfortable in their new bodies and in presenting as the opposite gender. We do not have any studies on long term outcomes for the same. What do you'll think ?
It might be LIKE a BII disorder, but that's probably only for clinical disordered anatomical autogynephilia. More research certainly needs to be conducted on autogynephilia gender dysphoria.
It can be analogous in my opinion. Some people with BIID are happier after having becoming disabled, but I don't think any clinical research has been done yet to understand how it works.
AGP doesn't exist, it was a hypothesis by a transphobe used to fight against the rights of trans women and other people who wish for estrogen or vaginoplasty. There are long term studies in the form of trans people who have had surgery for over 100 years now. detransition makes up less than 0.4% of people who medically transision to any extent and is usually due to external transphobia.
This is the same as "gender dysphoria". The answer is NOT to do what the child wants done.
This is absolutely NOTHING like being transgender.
So your telling me that the reason I want to clap anputee chicks so bad is because I saw and amputee when I was young and my brain just can't stop think about amputee for 14 years now.
No,thats only one risk factor. I discussed some of the major causative risk factors prior to that.
Awfully interesting.
Thanks a lot.
Cutethy becaue cutely thilly would be lithp biid. To poetically thacrifithe the power to pronounthe S + get a lithp. That'th not got any ithueth of drathtic dithability, they can thill live able bodied, That'th just impothibly cutethy.
Brain chips nuff said
Conspiracies?
@@TinyMedicine no
"Gender dysphoria" (in my humble opinion) seems to be a variation of this.
It is a very "humble" opinion.
Sounds like gender disphoria
ah yes, my favorite gender. left arm.
sounds like those trans people
I’m originally from India. Both of my parents are from New Delhi India. This disorder breaks my heart in so many ways that I cannot even begin to explain.
India has been voted as the most corrupted country in Asia. There are criminals in India who kidnap poor children from the streets, poor families, and orphanages and use them for begging.
Sometimes they amputate one of their limbs or blind them so that they can earn more money as disabled or blind beggars. The maimed children are dispersed into different areas during the day and are taken back to the criminals during the evening time. All of the money goes to the gang leaders. The worst part about all this is that the government is not doing anything about the criminals because some of the money used is to bribe the police.
This is still happening as we speak and the government of India is not doing anything about it. The same thing happens in China 🇨🇳 as well.
Oh my god 😭😭😭😡😡😡
