From Light at the End of the Tunnel: “Re: psychologist-assisted blinding. Is there an ICD-10 code for that?” A clearly disturbed North Carolina woman who says she suffers from body integrity identity disorder (which causes healthy people to want to be disabled) claims in a sensationalistic website’s video that a sympathetic psychologist intentionally blinded her with drain cleaner. I seriously doubt that, especially since she says they used numbing eye drops first and psychologists can’t use medications (only psychiatrists can do that since they are physicians). She also claimed in another attention-seeking video (in which she used a different name) that her blindness was accidental. She’s running a $4,000 fundraising project to buy canes for 35 students of a school for the blind in Indonesia, of which $875 goes for the canes and the rest for a two-week visit to the school by the woman and her fiancé. She concludes, “Don’t think I’m crazy. I just have a disorder.”

I found it hard to believe a medical professional assisted with this. Even if she found someone sympathetic with her goals, which is dubious in itself, it's unlikely they would risk the obvious legal consequences. A psychologist should have recognized the underlying mental illness.

Body integrity identity disorder is a recognized form of hypochondria so there is an ICD-10 code for it. I would guess the treatment would be behavior therapy, not burning someones eyes out with chemicals.
