Astrophysics Torch's field

long story short, the only link between the two is how one deals with it @The Mad King those who are truly dysphoric due to their dysmorphia, when treated, their dysphoria goes away.

the new wave of trans people kill themselves.

kind of, we're in the realm of things that arent fully understood which is part of the reason I'm interested

I see

like the problem is that it means you now need a third word to describe what should be called dysmorphia

I'm interested, but even when explained to me Torch I haven't got a scooby.

which leads me to believe they're not only not dyphoric, but probably not dysmorphic either.

because dysmorphia and dysphoria now mean the same thing

because someone is psych fucked up naming BDD

no

jesus christ

do you fucking read

I get what you're saying

I thought they were separate things.

Like I've always been explained that they're separate..

@Nip Crippler if needed, can I talk to you about Uni related stuff at some other time?

but they dont mean the same thing wtf

Absolutely

the fuck are you even talking about

Thanks

I mean I had a whole thing of confusion higher up because they were using dysmorphia when they should have used dysphoria, albeit to describe two different usages of dysphoria

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

right

I'm saying that exactly is the definition

and dysmorphia keeps getting used to mean emotional/mental

where?

way further up in chat

Perceived shape

but you're also arguing the semantics between actual and percieved, when i've stated explicitly, it's field specific.

we operate out of perception 90% of the time because our clients are fucking nuts.

they want to cut their dicks off. lmao

That must be heavy to deal with @Nip Crippler

Here fuck off you melt @AdmiralBumFluff

right but your field is retarded and has ruined a word that still has usage in real medical practices

is my whole fucking point

Holy fuck

@Tea tbh, they're some of the easiest to work with. it's the antisocials and the borderlines that get to me.

Psych.........

@Nip Crippler Does it take a toll mentally sometimes?

It's an important distinction though because one term pathologises the mental state whereas the other pathologises the anatomy
