Whether you’re living with PTSD, C-PTSD, or both, trauma can significantly affect your life.
Following a traumatic event, you may experience symptoms like constantly feeling on edge and intense feelings like sadness, fear, or guilt. These and other symptoms are common signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).
But given how similar PTSD and C-PTSD are, how are the two conditions different?
About 1 in 11 U.S. people will be diagnosed with PTSD at some point, according to the American Psychiatric Association. C-PTSD is a newer condition that medical professionals are still trying to gather research on, including statistics.
