CPTSD has no diagnostic or billing code and was rejected repeatedly as a valid diagnosis in America for good effing reason.
I am about to sue someone for this misdiagnosis now in my medical chart so be careful.
Please find something more important to spend your time on than adding even more BS into
The book of voodoo AKA the DSM.

[…] The differences, however, set them apart from one another. For one, while PTSD is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder edition 5 (DSM-5) complex post-traumatic stress disorder has yet to make an appearance. […]

I live in the UK (a US transplant) and was misdiagnosed so May times. Finally got my C-PSD diagnosis last year, but only because the assessing physiologist (had gone for an autism assessment) had recently been reading up on C-PTSD. This is a step in the right direction, but diagnosis should be something more psychologists can make, not a matter of luck.

Thank you for your informative article. I just read Pete Walker’s “Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving” and thought repeatedly, “This is me. This is so me.” It was as though it was a partial biography about. . . me.

In the past, I’ve had unflattering labels slapped upon me, including BPD. Currently, one of my diagnoses is PTSD since, in addition to the neglect and toxic home environment, I’d had three head injuries by age four, one of which I wasn’t expected to survive. I am anxiously waiting the CPTSD diagnosis to be included in the next edition the DSM.
