yes, i agree that complex PTSD is probably coming in the future as well. i think it would be a good dx to add. i forgot to mention what you brought up about its criteria...ongoing trauma. good point!

i think alot of those with DDNOS would fit well into that dx. i truly do. i think i would fit well into that dx, if it were a dx.

alot of ppl dx'ed DDNOS have the higher degree of dissociation without going that last step of having insiders who "take control" without the host knowing or having awareness. or, if they do, none have shown themselves to the t, which i think is a requirement for t to make the dx of DID. that's my understanding.

i think that complex PTSD would rename most of the DDNOS dx's...not to say that there's anything wrong with that dx at all. i tried to convince t at one point that DDNOS should be my dx

this is a good conversation.
