Body integrity dysphoria
Mental disorder characterized by a desire to be physically disabled
Summary
Body integrity dysphoria (BID), also referred to as body integrity identity disorder (BIID), amputee identity disorder or xenomelia, and formerly called apotemnophilia, is a mental disorder characterized by a desire to have a sensory disability or physical disability or feeling discomfort with being able-bodied, beginning in early adolescence and resulting in harmful consequences. BID appears to be related to somatoparaphrenia. Some people with this condition may refer to themselves as transabled, a term coined in relation to them.
