Complex PTSD (cPTSD) is a diagnosis in the ICD-11. However, it is a relatively new diagnosis to be officially recognized and does not appear in the DSM-5. This often leads to confusion as to whether it is an official diagnosis or more of a commonly accepted term in the community. However, it is a real diagnosis.
