CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is a mental health condition that develops after prolonged, repeated trauma, often involving issues like abuse or neglect over time. Unlike traditional PTSD, which may result from a single event, CPTSD includes symptoms such as intense emotional distress, difficulty trusting others, feelings of worthlessness, and challenges in managing emotions. It often affects identity and relationships, making recovery more complex. Treatment typically involves therapy to address trauma, develop coping skills, and rebuild a sense of safety and self-worth.
