so i met my new psychiatrist and i really like her and the diagnoses she gave me are what i already thought i had. however when we talked about did she said that “pure” did is caused by brain lesions that you have when you’re born, and that most psychiatrists in my area won’t diagnose did as did but instead as cptsd-ds (dissociative subtype) to avoid stigmatization and refusal of treatment. basically she told me that she believes based off 1 article she read that “pure” did is not created through trauma and that there are people who have did who have no trauma. i’ve been avoiding posting this to avoid putting myself in an echo chamber. i did ask her for her source and she gave me an article, but it’s been hard to get through for obvious reasons. i really like her despite this and i’m trying to figure out if there’s any sort of validity in what she said.
