Now @sophieinwonderland isn’t responding to my callout posts. This is why we say you don’t listen, Sophie. You refuse to answer when people debunk your baseless claims. Just listen for once.
I am going to explain here why criterion C, the distress and impairment criterion, is redundant.
Criterion B, the amnesic criterion, always causes impairment, as I explain here. It always causes impairment because A, you’re forgetting everyday life, which is impairing for obvious reasons; B, you’re forgetting important personal details, such as your name, age, where you live, etc., which is also impairing for obvious reasons; and/or C, you’re forgetting traumatic memories, which is impairing due to the nature of repressed memories. If you’d like further explanation of any of this, please ask, and I’ll gladly explain.
If one has DID, they fit all the diagnostic criteria, including criterion B (the amnesic criterion). If one fits criterion B, they already fit criterion C.
Thus, criterion C is redundant.
