Explanatory hypotheses of the ecology of new clinical presentations of Dissociative Identity Disorders in youth

This was published in 2022 and... please tell me no one else knew this paper existed? How have I never seen it before? I feel cheated. I feel like I just found out there's mean girls talking about our communities behind our backs.

I'm kind of speechless. I've highlighted the important bits, read those.

Abstract

Dissociative Identity Disorders (DIDs) are controversial psychiatric conditions encountered in clinical practice and nosology. DID, as described in the international classifications, has little similarity with the clinical picture of “DID” met in current youth psychiatry. From this perspective, we hypothesize that this current clinical presentation does not satisfy the categorical criteria of the international classifications. Based on the two terminological challenges related to the definition of DID (i.e., the notion of dissociative disorders and the different meanings of the term identity), we propose to differentiate two distinct entities from each other. The first is medical and listed in diagnostic criteria of international classifications; the second comes from popular culture and refers to the vast majority of clinical presentations received in daily clinical practice—presented under the term Dissociative Identity Conditions (DIC).

Pause, because I need that to sink in.

We've been downgraded.

I say "we," as if I'm including myself in this "youth" group. This article will tell you that it cannot be applied to adults.

But despite the fact that I'm (very) old, and despite that it explicity says it can't be applied to me, it does.

I feel personally attacked, despite my journey ending long before this applied to me. This tells me there's a flaw somewhere.

Since the status of DIC is a hot topic in current clinical psychiatry, we aim to identify eight possible explanations that can be provided to support its occurrence: (1) impact of iatrogenicity;

I need to stop right there and just... bask for a moment.

This article is about to tell you that your knowledge of DID is so good that you EDUCATED yourself into having a fake form of it.

There's no going back. We forge on.

(2) factors of suggestibility and desire for social acceptability; (3) psychoanalytic explanations; (4) neuropsychological explanations; (5) socio-cognitive explanations; (6) emotional labeling; (7) narrative explanations; (8) and transient illnesses explanations.

Let's pause again.

Let's think very hard for a second.

In conclusion, we sustain that DIC results from a narrative interpretation of medical discourse by popular culture, developing in patients presenting undeniable distress. Such a transient disease fits in an ecological niche, which echoes the values of society, persisting under the action of a need for narrative continuity of the self.

🚨 HOTCH THOUGHT 🚨

Not really a thought but look at this mf picture

look at the glasses and the jeanssss 😮‍💨😩 don’t even get me started on the hair 😭 sexy asf

DAD HOTCH AHHH i love it sm “aaron, is that entirely safe?” you watch as he tosses your kid in the air, catching their giggling frame. “yeah! it’ll be fine. isn’t that right?” he speaks to his little love that’s squirming in his arms. you laugh softly and move to the kitchen, stirring the pot and listening to the laughter of both halves of your hearts. “momma! momma lookit!” you come back out to the the living room to see your baby standing on aaron’s tall shoulders. “oh, darling. be careful.” you stare worriedly at your two loves. “i’ve got him.” aaron whispers and you nod hesitantly. you walk over, slinging the dish towel over your shoulder, cupping his face and kissing him slowly, his glasses brushing against your face. “momma, play aliens?” you pull away from your husband. you look up and meet their eyes that are simply aaron’s, dimple identical to his as well. “yes baby, we can play aliens. but you better start running.” they laughed gleefully before stomping their feet on aaron’s shoulders until he placed them down and you watched them run their half nude form up the stairs. aaron tugs at your hand as you laugh, “thank you. for loving me, for giving me them.” your hands find their way to aaron’s chest, his lips on yours once more. “you’re welcome.” you smirk, tapping his nose. “you’re it, mr. alien.” you watch aaron’s face turn teasing. “you better start running, mrs. alien.” you giggle and follow your kid upstairs, listening to aaron count from downstairs. happy and completely in love.

OKAY I HOPE THIS WAS GOOD THIS WAS WHAT POPPED IN MY HEAD AND IM IN LOVE WITH HIM IN JEANS 💋🥺
