Researchers describe how to diagnose WHO’s newly named ‘complex PTSD’

Researchers have described how to diagnose complex PTSD based on patient symptoms, following WHO’s new classification of the disorder, which differs from established PTSD.
Earlier this year, WHO published a new version of its International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), which expanded upon PTSD with a new diagnosis for complex PTSD, or CPTSD. New symptoms, such as self-organization disturbances, were included in the diagnosis.
