Abusedtoy..... I know you are trying to figure things out and it can be confusing... your first post is asking whether anyone has heard of cptsd being an umbrella diagnosis for a whole bunch of disorders. if I remember right you did ask this before in other threads. but considering you keep asking the same thing Im guessing the answers are getting are confusing you.

psych central has many people from all different places around the world.
each place around the world have their own rules for what is and isnt mental disorder. what is CPTSD in one place may not be in another place.

you are in australia I am in the USA...

here in the USA we do not have a mental disorder called CPTSD . so no CPTSD does not cover the things you are asking about... we have other mental disorder names for things that other people call CPTSD.

my suggestion is not worry about whether CPTSD in other locations covers what it does where you are. just go according to what your own treatment providers have told you.

if you dont believe your doctors and therapist, you can ask them to show you in their diagnosis books what CPTSD is in your location and whether it covers everything or not.
Thanks Amanda. You make sense. I do agree it is ideal to ask them about their diagnosis books what C-PTSD is in my own country and what it covers.

In response to other posts, yes, I am trusting my psychiatrist and therapist, because they are professionals. It is just at the same time, I am wanting more validation, because I have been doubting, when hearing some have been diagnosed separately. So I am 50% trusting my providers, if it makes sense.
