Now all of these disorders overlap to one degree or another, or the lingering and unresolved disorders overlap other newly generated disorders. Question, do these disorders have a synergistic or multiplying effect which is greater than the sum of the individual disorders? In other words can these disorders combine to form a humongous perfect storm? Or does the brain have a mechanism or a governor of some type to keep this from happening? Admittedly I'm a mess, but I still seem to be functioning at a reasonably high level. I'm just wondering if one day all heck is going to break lose. Shalom.

also wanted to add some of those on your list if you are an adult you will get them as diagnosis labeling. example IED and CTS and early Childhood Trauma Disorder are only diagnosed in children each of those come with age limits. after certain ages they are just called PTSD and the CPTSD is no longer being diagnosed here in america. those that still have this diagnosis here in america is because they were diagnosed with CPTSD before the change over to the new diagnostics.
example before 2013 (when the new diagnostics came out) my diagnosis was CPTSD, it for me it transferred over to being Acute Stress Disorder. for others here in america it could be called PTSD, or Major Depressive Disorder....it now is individualized according to ones own combination or symptoms.
