So BPD and C-PTSD are the same. They have the same symptoms only one is considered organic the other traumatic?
In which case how can anyone with a traumatic childhood be diagnosed with BPD without a brain scan to back it up?
It seems to me that the purpose of C-PTSD is to validate those with trauma histories. I'm inclined to think of C-PTSD as more of a combination diagnosis? Attachment disorder (BPD) + PTSD.
