I came across a 2019 research article when I was working on the CPTSD bibliography about the percentage of people in the USA with Complex PTSD and its an absolutely staggering number:

An estimated 3.8% which for the US population of 331,002,651 = 12,471,600

We all knew the numbers were high but it's still jaw dropping when you see an actual figure.
