Hey.

Edit 2/1/2023: A new small guideline that has been added to the rules- please include direct links to profiles, especially if the user in question is being shady, since they go 'invisible' when FR locks/bans them.

(It's not mandatory, but it helps folks get those juicy details.)

The catch is, a lot of mental illnesses don't get diagnosed officially, so the real numbers could be higher but we never know because they're too scared to get help.

But I'm going with some of it being teens through young adults self-diagnosing in this case.

Not to mention that 9 times out of 10, diagnosis and therapy for dissociative disorders usually recommend taking antipsychotics (Which aren't always recommended for DID/OSDD, and can make you lethargic to the point of sleeping 20 hours a day- personal experience) or they recommend integration, which can be even more traumatic than the original trauma that caused the DID/OSDD.

I'll be honest, I don't know enough about this particular mental issue. I know depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

Which tend to be treatable much easier than this sounds.

I can see a lot more hiding it until they can't anymore if that's how it's being handled.

Thank you for the information.
