| Dissociative disorder not otherwise specified |
|---|
Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (DDNOS) is a category for dissociation that matches the DSM-IV criteria for a dissociative disorder, but does not fit the full criteria for any of the specifically identified subtypes, which include depersonalization disorder, dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, and dissociative identity disorder.
Examples that are under this category include Ganser's syndrome, disorders similar to multiple personality disorder, and trance states.[1]
