What is Complex PTSD?

Complex PTSD (CPTSD) can happen to people who have experienced more than one traumatic event.

The difference between CPTSD and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the number of times a person has gone through trauma. CPTSD causes a person to have difficult and painful emotional and behavioral symptoms and requires attending a licensed treatment program to help them overcome their disorder.

Approximately 4% of adults have had CPTSD each year. When a person has an early life traumatic experience that goes untreated, they are almost twice as likely to end up with depression at age 21. 

What Causes Complex PTSD?

Complex PTSD can result after experiencing one or more of the following types of traumatic events:

  • Sexual assault
  • Physical assault
  • Childhood molestation
  • Bullying
  • Community unrest, such as riots or neighborhood violence
  • Childhood neglect
  • Acts of nature, such as hurricanes, fires, flooding, and more
  • Long-term illness or serious accident
  • Human trafficking 
  • Military acts, including in warzones
  • Witnessing other people experience trauma

When is it Time to Seek Treatment for CPTSD?

CPTSD takes over a person’s life, but they can become accustomed to their pain and fear and do not understand that they need professional treatment. If a person’s overall quality of life has become compromised because of untreated CPTSD, it’s time to seek treatment. This includes feeling overwhelmed, lost, and fearful.

The right treatment program helps people address and minimize their symptoms so they can learn to feel calm and live without fear again.

Frequently Asked Questions About CPTSD

Is Complex PTSD a Disability?
Complex PTSD can be classified as a disability, but it is also a curable mental health disorder.
How to Support a Loved One Who May Be Suffering From CPTSD
Tell them you are a safe person to speak to about how they feel. Offer to help them look for treatment and drive them to appointments, if possible. Tell them there is always hope to turn their lives around and enjoy better mental health.
What is The Best Medication for CPTSD?
Not everyone who has CPTSD requires medication. A discussion will be held with a clinician to determine if a medication is required, which may be used to treat depression, anxiety, and other symptoms.
Is CPTSD Treatment Effective?
People who do not seek treatment will continue to suffer and typically have increased symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. The sooner they get professional help, the less they will suffer needlessly.
