What Is Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)?Most people are familiar with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), often linked to a single traumatic event such as combat, a serious accident, or assault. Complex PTSD is different. It develops after repeated or long-term trauma, often occurring in childhood or during vulnerable times in life.
Unlike PTSD, which is recognized in the DSM-5, C-PTSD is not yet an official diagnosis in the U.S. diagnostic manual. However, it is formally acknowledged in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), and many therapists—including Wilsdaryon—are trained to identify and treat it.
