complex PTSD was proposed to be included, but was denied so it isn't an official dx here...yet.

complex PTSD is PTSD basically with strong dissociative traits (right word?). before my dx, t and i discussed the possibility of complex PTSD for me, because it allows for massive dissociation. i would imagine it being somewhere in between PTSD and DID.

of course, this isn't a professional statement, just my understanding of it i could be way off...i've miscontrued with t before...
