Yeah, that’s pretty textbook.

Outside of the usual semantic arguments about what constitutes a primary diagnosis, I can’t see a good reason why that would get so much pushback (sexism aside).

What is your particular understanding of “dissociation”, as in the specific signs and symptoms you see in your friend?

No one serious disagrees about the literal existence of dissociative behaviors (i.e. “checking out” for reasons both physiological and psychological), but plenty of people disagree about the phenomenology + clinical nature of DID and related DSM constructs.

I was active on there for a few years.

The mods are uber-censorious, in short. There were also a few power users who liked to brigade anything they disagree with.

Lemmy isn’t infallible or immune to such behavior by any means — but the public modlog, option to instance hop, and federated-community nature make it feel far more open and transparent. Tildes is much more of a walled garden, for better or (IMO) worse.

That’s okay, you’re not supposed to stand
