it may sound weird carmina considering your location (the UK) here in america we had a change in our health care system in 2013 where lots of names for disorders got discontinued, but not given up on. you know kind of like how DID used to be called MPD but then there was a change in the health care system here so it was renamed...
well line in the sand is here we went through another change in the health care system where the name CPTSD was discontinued and all its diagnostics and symptoms were added to new names and other mental disorders...
kind of like a person can have a cold but yet it be called upper respitory disease, or a viral infection or a bunch of other names too.
now what CPTSD is called in each person in america is based on each persons own symptoms and problems. its no longer just called CPTSD. sometimes like in me its called acute stress disorder. in my wife its called PTSD, in my niece its called reactive attachment disorder, in another relative of mine its called major depressive disorder. its all the same thing just our CPTSD problems show in different ways so we are not all called CPTSD. its a better matching system then we had before, more individualized.
