Not on DSM V!

[neenonee]

I was so disappointed to see CPTSD isn't on the DSM V! I work at a mental health facility and we got training today. I asked the trainer, a phd, if it was in there and he had never heard of it nor had anyone else in the room! Is this a real diagnosis? What if we don't meet the criteria for standard ptsd and there is no cptsd on the dsm v, how do we get help? I'd like to go back to my therapist when I have insurance again but wonder how it's possible if my disorder doesn't even exist!

I can vaguely remember another thread on this topic... found it. Maybe there's something in there that's helpful for you?

Thanks, that helps
