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.

Amanda, there are several points. One, it is useful to have some of these disorders very narrowly defined because it defines the origins of the disorder, and why this person has this disorder. Like ECT (Early Childhood Trauma) is restricted to children from ages 1-6 and all the consequences of early childhood developement. Another point is that a disorder can be determined after the fact because the characteristics and consequences of the disorder can be unique and continuous or lifelong. Third, some disorders are directly connected to physical events. Like I have TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) due to at least 8 concussions, two quite severe, which are milestones, or event markers, for psyche disorders. Thanks Amanda. Shalom.
