for those wondering why they can not find anything in the DSM 5 on complex ptsd it is because its no longer called that (it was changed in may 2013) In the DSM 5 the same symptoms, diagnostics for complex ptsd are found under the diagnostic labeling of Acute Stress Disorder, Other specified Trauma and Stress Related Disorder, Unspecified Trauma and Stress Related Disorder.

in other words its there just different labeling and split up into more than one mental disorder. to find out which new labeling you fit into you will need to contact your treatment providers who can match your old diagnostics and symptoms to the new diagnostics and symptoms.

this is with in the USA. other countries or those that use the IDC diagnostics will need to contact their treatment providers or a treatment provider in their own locations to find out what the labeling and diagnostic criteria is in your locations.
