Disordered Plurality

Disordered plurality is an umbrella term for all experiences of plurality that causes "significant difficulty, distress, impairment, and/or suffering in a person's daily life"https://www.ocduk.org/ocd/disorder/ or otherwise or strongly affects or impacts their daily functioning.DSM-5.pdf - Google Drive (Dissociative disorders start on page 328) If a system doesn't consider their plurality to have a large negative impact on their life, they're not disordered. Being plural is not a disorder on its own, but there is a large overlap between plural and disordered experiences. 
The most known form of disordered plurality is Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). Accompanying that are Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD),Formerly Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (DDNOS) Unspecified Dissociative Disorder (UDD), and Partial Dissociative Identity Disorder (P-DID). Neurogenic plurals are typically disordered, even if they don't have DID or a related disorder, as their plurality is tied to other disorders they have. 
Disordered plurals typically experience dissociative symptoms such as derealization, depersonalization, and dissociative amnesia. Heavy dissociation is generally viewed as originating in trauma, leading to the association with traumagenic systems, but systems may experience trauma separately from their origins, and it is possible to dissociate heavily without a traumatic origin for it.

Disorderject

A disorderject, or disordertive, is a member of a system based on a disorder. It may be the brain’s representation of the disorder, representation of symptoms, or anything else related to a disorder. They will commonly be introjects of the system’s own disorder(s), however, it can be any disorder. Although this was coined to refer to mental disorders, this also counts for physical disorders or other disorders. If the system sees it as a disorder, it counts and the term can be used.
==History==
Coined by The Solar Eclipse System after not being able to find a term.
==Related Terms==
If the disorder is considered a disability by the system, disative may be used. If the disorder is an illness, illtive may be a synonym. 
A disorderject may be considered a conceptive. 
If a disorderject changes with and represents the progression of a disorder, they may be an allegorican.

Dissociagenic

A dissociagenic system or headmate is one that formed as a result of dissociation, be it that the process of dissociation caused it to form, that it was formed as a means of coping with the dissociation, or otherwise. 
This may manifest as a system returning from a dissociative episode and discovering that, as opposed to a previous headmate fronting or a hidden headmate coming out of hiding to front, an entirely new headmate has formed and begun fronting.
==Variants==
Dissociadawn is a more specific variant referring to sisasystem origin, using the -dawn suffix. 
== History ==
This term was coined in the Pluralpedia Discord server in July of 2021 by a member of Peaceful Dark Clouds, who had wanted a term to best describe many of their headmates' origins. It is not intended to be gatekept to systems with dissociative disorders.
Dissocia is derived from the word dissociation, while -genic is a suffix indicating "produced by", "formed by", or "originating from".
A dissociagenic flag was made by an anonymous Pluralpedia user on August 8th 2023.

Dissociation Giver

A dissociation giver is a headmate who can make other headmates or the body feel dissociated. They may do this for several reasons, such as to snap someone out of an anxiety spiral before it goes too far and turn into panic, but they may also do it just for fun as well.
Unlike a dissociation manager, dissociation givers are not managing the system's dissociation, meaning they cannot ease, take away, or redistribute dissociation, nor do they necessarily keep track of the system's dissociation. Dissociation givers merely make other headmates or the body as a whole feel dissociated, and have no control over dissociation they do not initiate. They may have limited control over the intensity of the dissociation they give, but this is not required.
Dissociation givers may also be protectors, persecutors, and/or gatekeepers, but do not have to be. Dissociation givers may be present in both disordered and non-disordered systems.
== History ==
The term was created by the Werewolf Pack on December 29, 2023, to describe one of their headmates who has this ability.

Dissociation Holder

A dissociation holder is a type of symptom holder which holds onto dissociative symptoms, often to prevent other headmates from dealing with the brunt of dissociation.
Though most common in traumagenic and dissociagenic systems, any system that experiences dissociation may have a dissociation holder. 
== Subterms ==
Depersonalization holders handle depersonalization specifically.
Derealization holders handle derealization specifically.
DPDR holders handle the symptoms of depersonalization-derealization disorder.
Confuteration holders handle identity confusion and identity alterationhttps://www.isst-d.org/resources/dissociation-faqs/ as distinct symptoms. While these are often seen as outsider observations of systemhood, this is not always the case.
Amnesia holders can be a subtype of dissociation holders when the amnesia in question is dissociative.

Dissociative Disorder

Dissociative disorders are mental disorders characterized by a disconnect in consciousness, such as changes of identity, memory, and awareness. People with these disorders may escape reality involuntarily, causing disruption and dysfunction in everyday life.
Commonly recognized examples include dissociative amnesia, dissociative identity disorder, and depersonalization-derealization disorder. Specified variant diagnoses include partial dissociative identity disorder and dissociative fugue. Alternate diagnoses in the category are other specified dissociative disorder, unspecified dissociative disorder, and formerly dissociative disorder not otherwise specified. A less-recognized dissociative disorder is maladaptive daydreaming disorder.

Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified

Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified‏‎ (DDNOS) is a generally now defunct diagnosis formerly given to individuals who did not fully qualify for other dissociative disorder diagnoses, including dissociative identity disorder.
DDNOS was removed from the DSM due to a disproportionately high prevalence and difficulty distinguishing some presentations as uniquely separate from primary diagnoses. It was suggested that the definition of DID would be expanded to include the most common clinical presentations regardless of whether a professional could fully confirm the presence of distinct identities, as long as most other symptoms were present.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227691257_Dissociative_disorders_in_DSM-5
Given that DDNOS is no longer given due to its removal in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the various subcategories are generally linked to other, more current diagnoses:
* DDNOS-1 → Dissociative Identity Disorder: Switching not observed by a clinician, or amnesia for the significant past but not everyday life.
* DDNOS-1a & 1b → Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder: Less distinct parts/no alters (1a) OR without amnesia (1b).
* DDNOS-2 → Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder: Derealization without Depersonalization
* DDNOS 3-5, Ganser's Syndrome → Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder: Disorder with specific symptoms, e.g. identity change due to brainwashing, acute dissociative reaction, dissociative trance.
Other forms with unclear symptoms are now considered Unspecified Dissociative Disorder.

Dissociative Mask

A dissociative mask is a subtype of masking, however it inherently makes one dissociate. Typically losing most, if not all, sense of identity and sometimes forcing one into autopilot.
When in regards to systems; a headmate who is fronting will still be themself, but they might not feel like they are, and their personality and mood may be drastically altered.

Distive

A distive is a headmate that started out as an introject but later became disconnected to that identity due to trauma.

District

A district is a group of headmates that split during a single time period around the same group of traumatic events. These headmates revolve around the trauma that caused them to split. This is in relation to a system grouping parts of their life into different sections. Each district might have its own layer, however they can exist within the same section of headspace. Headmates within a certain district have better communication within their own district than the rest of the system. Districts cannot be created, they simply come into existence when groups of headmates split in a certain pattern.
For example, a system with two districts might have one district that is dedicated to early childhood neglect full of mostly caretakers, and another district dedicated to an abusive relationship full of mostly protectors. 
== History ==
The term was coined by The Timekeepers in 2021 to describe Faer experience being a polyfragmented systemhttps://pkmn.ju.mp/#about (archive). 
This term was coined with traumagenic systems in mind, but can be used by any system no matter their origin.
