"BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) is a DSM-5, (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition), diagnosis involving distress due to a perceived physical anomaly, such as a scar, the shape or size of a body part, or some other personal feature. While most individuals feel a degree of doubt or dissatisfaction with their appearance at times, (NHS, 2012) individuals with BDD will experience persistent and intrusive thoughts about the imagined flaw (ADAA, 2014). Other people will not be concerned with, or even notice the anomaly, but the individual with the perceived flaw will alter their interpersonal and professional interactions on the basis of the imagined flaw"

I thought it was just a category they put the condition in for a wide range of the mental and physical sides of it.

yeah I'm not saying BDD doesnt cover a lot of shit, I'm saying that the one specific thing dysmorphia had in its etymology has been blurred and shifted closer to dysphoria

that's because they're so difficult to seperate

which is why definitions are like 3 pages long for diagnostics

Mays got moves.

Don't hate

not by original definition they werent, torch put it best

'-morph' = 'shape/physical'
'-phoria' = 'emotional/mental'

@Pirate but it hasnt...

She moves like a Gargoyle walking the Compton

through*

I mean thats just me going off the latin/greek roots tbh

that is what those words mean, you are complaining at nobody

ok so the ancient...^^

but that's my issue

just gotta accept it dude. it's words. lol

FUCK language

Semantics here, right?

english sucks

legitimately just semantics

I thought so, like.

just trying to explain my position here

Etymology doesnt always determine meaning, it's ultimately up to usage or a specialist authority (like the DSM for one)

^

your position is, why have the words changed meaning, the actual words havent changed meaning at all

I'm trying to understand your position, but I'm not understanding the point you're trying to make.

still waiting on that IAU decision on what a CME is though

He's saying they've become so similar it's virtually worthless to have two different terms at this juncture I believe

like dysmorphia is still in line with its greek origin

Coronal mass Ejaculation.

still buggering around with planets

And that we should come up with a new one

Miss spell it on a paper Torch

Please

never

International Astrophysics Union?

fuck

yep

Ruger I feel you're missing context, because Nip Crippler and Mad King were actually using it in place of Dysphoria contextually earlier, which sparked off the whole thing

Damn
