If you have any questions to ask, it can be about anything, comments down below. Today we're talking about the differences between PTSD and C PTSD, complex PTSD. So with that in mind let's jump into the video. Complex PTSD is closely related to the event and symptoms associated with PTSD. The main difference is that PTSD is generally related to a single event or series of events within a closed period of time, while complex PTSD is related to events in a series that repeatedly occurred over an extended period of time. With complex PTSD there's emotional instability, emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, it relates a lot to borderline personality disorder. BPD and C PTSD have got a lot of things in common and are very often misdiagnosed as each other. Don't get me wrong, both PTSD and C PTSD suck. With PTSD you're more likely to suffer from flashbacks like NAS, whereas with C PTSD you're more likely to feel emotion dysregulated. You may still have flashbacks, but it's not a main thing with C PTSD. Now I'm not saying one disorder is worse than the other because they both suck. What I'm saying is there are a lot of key differences, for instance the flashbacks. Flashbacks are a key thing with PTSD. However with C PTSD flashbacks aren't necessarily part of the diagnostic criteria. This is all I've got for this video. If you have any questions leave it in the comments down below.
