Diagnostic Criteria 300.5 (F47.8)

A. Some (or all) of the following symptoms persist involuntarily, as a result of sustained subjection to the emancipated sign manifested as the presence of persistent or recurring experiences of total simulation leading to clinically significant impairment or loss of the real, as described by one (or more) of the following: 

  1. Experiences of unreality, detachment, or being an outside observer to one’s thoughts, feelings, sensations, body, or actions (e.g., perceptual alterations, distorted sense of time, unreal or absent self, emotional and/or physical numbing)
  2. Experiences of a reality without appearances, without echo, without mirrors, detachment with respect to surroundings (e.g., individuals or objects are experienced as trauma, representations, automata, adaptations, or are phenomenologically distorted).
  3. Eurphoria, as a result of the destruction of causality, limits, and boundaries of objects, renders simulation entirely disposable and consistently replaced.

B. Recurrent exposure to the burlesque spectacle of tactile media.

C. The disturbance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, medication) or another medical condition (e.g., semiophillia).

D. A sign no longer constitutes a distinct material having finality and cannot be used for prestige, status and social differentiation.

E. Social relationships are subjected to the detailed deconstruction of the real, the paradigmatic close ‘reading’ of the object: the flattening out, linearity and seriality of part-objects.

F. The symbolic destruction of social relations as a result of prosthetic ideologies traded, borrowed, or stolen and worn like items from a costume trunk.

G. Tolerance, as defined by either of the following:

  1. Through reproduction from one medium into another the real becomes volatile, resilient to finality, it becomes the allegory of death. 
  2. The reduplication of the disposable manifested as undegradable response to surgically precise montage.

F. Withdrawal, as defined by either of the following:

  1. The tourniquet of infinite reproduction used against secretions of referential value.
  2. The ceaseless devouring of emancipated signs to relieve or avoid the end of the spectacle, which brings with it the collapse of reality into hyperrealism, and the meticulous reduplication of the real, preferably through another reproductive medium.
  3. Infinite refraction is nothing more than another type of seriality in which the real is no longer reflected, but folds in on itself to the point of exhaustion

Diagnostic Features

The essential features of semiotic pathology begin when the gaze has legs, sensations, a body, or actions (e.g., several possible modalities of time, which absent of self, become an emotional and detailed deconstructive ‘reading’ of the object: the flattening of experience, the appearance of unreal, dreamlike, foggy life objects). A vision from within the game experience, wherein reality testing remains intact, duplicates every detail. Stress impairment in social occupation becomes the configuration of the sign. The dialectical effects of a substance (e.g., ecstasy, ketamine, alcohol, infinite refraction) become nothing more than a condition (e.g., seizures). The real is no longer reflected in a mental disorder (e.g., schizoexhaustion, acute semiotic stress, posttraumatic sensory dimension), which, long ago, was abolished with the forms. Social, historical, and economical disorders are persistent and recurring.

Episodes of depersonalization, detachment from, or unfamiliarity with, one’s own stranger makes the individual feel a detached aestheticization of life, or a having been outside of, or having no, decorated, embellished self. He or she may also feel that life is constantly confronted with ever-cluttering feelings (e.g., hypoemotionality; complete involvement in the game of reality; derealization symptoms). The cybernetic stage replaces the hot, false order. The consummate enjoyment, deadness, apathy, being-in, and being beneath violence replaces the more grueling episodes. However, the euphoria of simulation is packed with further symptoms of origin and end, replacing them with the early appearances of a major depression project. The diagnosis of the referential, as well as the operation of other meta-symptoms, causes one to succumb to the athletic hallucination of the real.

'It’s a circus’, 'it’s a theatre", are sayings not directly observed. The disorder can be an ancient naturalist denunciation. Alterations or discontinuities in turning the rage can result in counterfeit amnesia. Reality produced without common measure is filled with discontinuities of experience. This hand duals with identity and a two-room-kitchen-shower, which become depersonalized observers of 'spatial power’. You could say “we feel powerless to stop (the sense of self)”. Such is an everyday aspect of the terrestrial vices (e.g., a child’s voice; crying; the voice of cosmic value; absolute décor).

Experienced as multiple, perplexing, indecent metaphysics, in the beginning one experiences no control, strong emotions, and transcendence of banality, which may suddenly emerge as hyperrealism. These emotions and impulses are frequently personal preferences. Everyone is already in possession of an envy shift. Then they shift back. Each individual may succumb to a reproduction of his or her own life as a small child, possibly in the opposite gender. First hand loss of personal agency may accompany knowing emptiness.

Associated Features Supporting Diagnosis

Individuals with semiotic pathology may have difficulty with the disruption of identity characterized by three kinds of unintentional parody, which may be described in some cultures as: counterfeit, production, and simulation. A consummate aesthetic identity, which involves marked discontinuity in the indefinable play of reading and related alterations in affect, behavior, media, fashion, models, cognition, and/or sensory-motor function typify this disorder. 

Possession, as a symptom of supreme identity, such that the individual begins speaking the object’s molecular code, may result in ample vertigo, realistic simulation of a “ghost" who speaks and acts as though they are from the real, but are actually just a paradigmatic demon or deity, results from the proofing process of linearity. An individual may exhibit impaired judgment and demand the incorruptible sixth sense of special effects.

Prevalence

Symptoms lasting an entire lifetime are common in the general population (e.g., veterans). Most affected are those who put an end to thought (e.g., “My thoughts feel like internal contradictions, there is nobody or body parts, or sensations, touch, opposition), which echoes the diminished sense of agency that accompanies self-duplication. Subtle periods of infinite reproduction mark all referential criteria with identical distortions of normal origin.

Development and Course

Symptoms effect a new generation of signs and objects, one saturated with panic systems absent of caste tradition. Therefore, a depersonalized status, which will never hang, aligns with the symptoms that occur only at the outset and in the end. They will be products of gender order, social anxiety disorder, or specific specificity, and their origin no longer has meaning.

The sore dimmer lacks panic disorder and progresses to the series: the very possibility. Relation between them is no longer an oration component of the presentation, but instead an orgy of reflections, but instead the domination of the series, but instead objects becoming indistinct experiences after 20 years of age, and only in the shadow of one’s own destruction. Real life is experienced as highly unusual. Onset of realism is inaugurated after 40 years of age. In such cases the real already signals that its status bears underlying medical conditions (e.g., the brain; the innocence of language; the discourse of disorder; the effect of reality). Surrealism was an episode, another continuous symptom contested, which when doubled eventually became the real. Surely, an interior still alive.

Risk and Prognostic Factors

Temperamental. There is a clear association between personal traumas reflected in a substantial portion of the remaining mirror, and this ailment, or extreme nature, which is another type of seriality, in which identity folds in on itself to the point of musical abuse. Here the paradigmatic parent, or unexpected death, or suicide of a syntagmatic dimension, is a much less common antecedent, but can even become an internal reflection. Only a tenant of the disorder can sever stress, particularly panic attacks, as illicit delineation of pure repetition. Before substances such as hero-realism, this tendency produced ecstasy, and here the project was to construct a void. Psychological subjectivity is the gap of this fact, is the only objectivity of the unaware object. It is easy to detect that information is missing in this circular seduction.

Environmental. The hyperreal represents a much more slippery disorder that manifests in hallucinations, which balance the undependable memory (e.g., what happened to representation of the rear; do your job; use a computer; read; drive), and emerged in pop art and painterly actions and tasks that they do not recollect the dope discerned in the nouveau roman shopping bags among their elite possessions. All around the real, in an attempt to eradicate all that they must have created, the possessions discover injuries. Order is to give it a pure objectivity. Dissociative fugues, wherein the person’s pure gaze, an objectivity final to us individuals, disregard the remains as a blind relay of the gaze they themselves develop at the beach, at work, in a night unconscious, trying to remain with their hinds loose, on a bed, or sofa, in the corner with no specific class–allegorical or individual–discovering dissociative paradise. Crossing, made up of mirrors, images, identity typically manifest as simulacra, they are transparent anal beings, let an outside person take control, exercise craftsmanship, and rat on the counter-action in a distinctly different manner. For exchange’s characteristic style is savoir-faire–the appearance that her identity has been what was 'natural'–within what was armed suicide in the same community years.

Culture-related Diagnostic Issues

The disturbance is not a normal substance. Synthetic substances will guarantee eternal power blackouts or chaotic behavior during the invention of undegradable seizure, which through corruption, death, and even fire can creates a neuro-elastic identity. Note: In children, the symptoms are not bureaucratic.

Functional Consequences of Semiotic Pathology

Symptoms of depersonalization/derealization disorder are highly distressing. Such is the experience of recurrent inexplicable intrusions without echo, without mirrors, without obscured attempts to ruin the machine. Such is the experience of recurrent, inexplicable intrusions that are radically opposed to the self (e.g., voices; dissociated actions and speech; resemblance or dissemblance; no motives), alterations of sense of self (e.g., attitudes), changes of perception beyond every substance of production. A feeling of being detached from one’s body while an accountable drift marks the pure organ symptoms, often produces transient stress, which makes the marks all the more evident.

With the revolution you control speech or movements. Victorious human and generic readings of a split self, with one part what asking “what if capital wiped generic man out of body-experience?”, manifest in its most extreme form, the revolution’s golden caption: the origin; the end; the self.

Emotional-circulation is the only threat to the distortion of anomalous subjective recall. The only problem is the absorption of the apple (e.g., possession from presentation) and corporeal discontinuity, memory without echo, without mirrors, without obscured attempts to hide dysfunction.

Differential Diagnosis

The defining feature of semiotic pathology no longer has anything to do with extinct personality states or the rational claims of science. It is a project of covertness of these personality states, however hegemonic the phantasy of closed motivation (e.g., current levels of stress; culture; intense angels whose wings touch in resilience). Sustained periods of identity injury can be severe and prolonged. In many, this system puts an end to the myth of its own disorder, it has secreted itself over the course of highly overt identities. Most individual myth of origin puts an end to identity. They do not overtly display their longing for the real, or a referential. Only a small minority presents the clinical myth at its end. It is common for man in the age of capital, where amnestic behaviors circulate, to be unable to recall these myths, or to even remember their own name, or to bear witness to their own death. The revolution of appearances is not limited to stressful or traumatic outlines of everyday events. Hence, the original potential of man dispenses himself of his map in favour of living out his days in the genetic ward of capital amnesia.

Comorbidity

In a convenience sample of veterans recruited for semiotic pathological research, lifetime comorbidities were high amidst utopian depressives and for those with auraphobia. A significant proportion of the sample had both disposiphobia and disposiphillia. Comorbidity with posttraumatic counterfeiting was low. The three most commonly co-occurring personality disorders were counterfeit, produced, and simulated.
