Welcome to BIID-info.org

The most complete source of information about Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID).

This site aims to inform people about a relatively unknown and misunderstood condition which leads people to need an impairment of some sort. The most often sought impairments are: amputation, paraplegia, blindness, deafness.

Have you seen?: How can I tell if someone has biid?

Chances are, you can't tell just by looking at someone whether or not they have Body Integrity Identity Disorder. Most people who have BIID are "completely normal" from all outward appearances. Even spending time with a transabled individual is not going to indicate whether or not they have BIID. People with BIID have been married for decades while their spouse haven't ..→

We offer information for people who have BIID, their family and friends, researchers, the press, and the general public. Our goal is to provide as complete an understanding of Body Integrity Identity Disorder as possible.

This site is about BIID, by people who have BIID, although we present the viewpoint and material of many other people. Transabled individuals understand their condition best, and are able to speak about Body Integrity Identity Disorder from personal experience rather than just from a theoritical understanding of it. That said, we hope that researchers and medical professionals will participate on the site.

New BIID Study

Dr. Michael First is conducting a new study about Body Integrity Identity Disorder and is seeking participation from individuals who have BIID. Please read more about it and PARTICIPATE
