hey, ive seen you mention OSDD 1 and 2 in your posts. What is the difference? I only know that OSDD 1 is a system
Yes, OSDD-1 causes systems, with community subtypes of OSDD-1A and OSDD-1B, which is unfortunately often used interchangeably with OSDD-2 even though they are very different.
If I recall correctly, an individual will not be diagnosed with “OSDD-1” or “OSDD-2” but just OSDD, and usually the reasons why are listed. I might be wrong about that though.
Anywho, OSDD-2 is hard to find information on, but there are a few brief descriptions such as the few below I could find;
“OSDD 2 is "identity disturbance due to prolonged and intense coercive persuasion" such as (but not limited to) long-term brain washing. This can start in adulthood. These folks will question if they are the person who they were before the coercive persuasion took place or if they are the person who they became as a result of this situation.
(Ex: In Stage 1, ‘am I sans, or am I killer?’ as opposed to Stage 2 and above, where he is fully Killer (the imposed, programmed identity who just sees itself as something with Sans’ face and body because “sans would never kill Papyrus”)—just different states of Killer.)
So this can happen after you leave a coercive cult or a terror organisation for example, but also if you lived most of your life as a military personnel in a warzone and suddenly you return home to your original environment, and now you don't know if you are the peaceful family person you were before or the soldier who killed people. The two identities separate but not like in DID.
It's more like you don't know which version of yourself you should identify with, who you really are. This can include other forms of dissociation. Furthermore, to be diagnosed the symptoms have to significantly bother you and disturb your everyday functioning. Generally these guys are also diagnosed with PTSD/C-PTSD.”
“OSDD-2 is characterized by identity disturbance due to brainwashing, torture, thought reform, or otherwise coercion-based dissociation. Examples include being indoctrinated into a cult, being held captive, etc.”
“Other Specified Dissociative Disorder-2 (OSDD-2) is characterized by identity disturbances due to brainwashing, programming, torture, thought reform, or otherwise coercion-based dissociation. This includes being indoctrinated into a cult or being held captive.
In the DSM-IV, OSDD-2 was described as derealization without depersonalization. With the revisions to depersonalization/derealization disorder in the DSM-5, this is no longer the definition of OSDD-2.”
