C-PTSD is not an "official" diagnostic code in the DSM, so it is unlikely that a medical doctor will formally use that diagnosis. Informally, but not through diagnostic code, it can certainly be discussed, but until it is recognized in the DSM, doctors either go with a PTSD diagnosis or with BPD depending on which set of symptoms seems most displayed. It is also possible to hold both diagnoses.
