https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd/complex-ptsd/#.WX20cvnyvIV gives a succinct definition of PTSD then moves straight into CPTSD: what it is, what causes it, what treatments are available. Includes a chunk on misdiagnosis with BPD. :thumbup:
Good to see this in the UK, posted just a couple of months ago. Things are moving! :yahoo:
I'm about to undertake some investigation and will update.
That led me to this https://www.havoca.org/survivors/
All good stuff.
Many thanks Candid. This looks good!
Candid, Thanks for flagging this up about Mind. That's real progress! Means CPTSD is breaking through into mainstream consciousness :thumbup:
Keep us posted on your investigations.
Am going to take a look at that other survivors' website too. The more the better. There's so many of us out there.
Thanks Candid, although the only Mind thing I have nearby is a shop.
Hi all, I've been recently diagnosed with cptsd and it was mind blowing to be honest. Came after a singular event around Christmas which triggered a visit to the gp and then an assessment by a psychologist. On one hand feels great to finally have diagnosis on the other it seems like a long hard road ahead. Would appreciate any advice on how to deal with the early days.
