From what I understand, there was a push from dissociation and trauma specialists to include Complex PTSD in the DSM V, and to create one category of traumatic stress disorders including the dissociative disorders and the PTSDs. This didn't happen apparently because the political implications for psychology would be too large at this time. Personally I believe dissociative disorders are under-researched and that OSDD could be broken down into different diagnoses if more were understood about dissociative disorders. The diagnostic criteria are afterall supposed to be useful, and what is considered useful changes as we learn more.  |
complex PTSD is in the DSM 5 just under a different name. If I remember right I posted in the complex PTSD board how one of my diagnosis was complex PTSD and that I thought it was no longer a disorder but my own treatment provider showed me that its there just under a different label for me all my complex PTSD diagnostics\symptoms are now called Acute stress disorder. your own treatment provider can look at what got you diagnosied with Complex PTSD and match that with what your complex PTSD diagnosis is now called in the DSM 5.
I think of this change like when they changed the words Multiple Personality Disorder to the words Dissociative Identity Disorder... same disorder just new name for it.
complex PTSD is still in the DSM 5 just a different name for it and more individualized to take into consideration more diverse symptoms.
and yes like I said many treatment providers are now ....required .... to include the number of what got a person diagnosed with OSDD.
