Summary
In "image B", this fMRI scan shows a distinct state switching with an other distinct state, which is only possible in DID, because this is the only disorder with two or more distinct states. "Image A" shows three less than distinct states which are the parts that manage "unprocessed trauma," and react to it with vehement emotion. This is obviously an fMRI scan of DID since it shows there are two distinct states and three less than distinct states. In OSDD fMRI scans reveal only one distinct state is possible, and it switches with less than distinct states randomly, and the distinct state also switches in response to a "trigger." In contrast to DID, every single state can literally be conscious (lit up) at one time, but in response to a trigger, all but one state will leave consciousness, which is again in contrast with DID. In PTSD there is only one less than distinct state and one distinct state, and both stay conscious until a trigger causes the less than distinct state to respond, (flashback, fear, anxiety or other like symptom) and when it does the distinct state leaves consciousness. In the complex version of PTSD there are always two less than distinct states, and one distinct state. The less than distinct states are polarized, staying together, with both always conscious at the same time, but otherwise behave the same as simple PTSD. BPD involves one distinct state and it's always conscious until the individual is in distress, and then two less than distinct states show up together, but unlike C-PTSD these less than distinct states do not take over consciousness. The distinct state always remains with them. There are no flashbacks or other symptoms caused from unprocessed trauma events in BPD like there are in all the other disorders mentioned so far, but there are other dissociative symptoms.
