Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing prolonged or repeated trauma, such as childhood abuse, domestic violence, or war. Unlike standard PTSD, which often results from a single traumatic event, C-PTSD involves ongoing stress that can lead to deeper emotional and psychological challenges. Symptoms may include difficulty regulating emotions, feelings of hopelessness, and problems with relationships. People with C-PTSD may also struggle with self-identity and experience flashbacks or intrusive memories related to their trauma. Treatment often involves therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), to help individuals process their experiences and develop coping strategies.
