Monosymptomatic OCD
by Jake D - 2 September 2006
On my latest visit to my psychiatrist, he described my condition of BIID as mono symptomatic Obssessive Compulsive Disorder. Is it even related to OCD at all? Consider this. If an amputee (not-by-choice) desired to have his/her original body form back and sought therapy for it, would the psychiatrist describe their condition as mono symptomatic OCD? I doubt it. My argument is that what I suffer from is simply my "state of being". It;s not OCD, its not paraphilia or anything else. It is just the "way I am".
