Exploring the links between various traumatic experiences and ICD-11 PTSD and Complex PTSD: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) included two distinct trauma-related diagnoses-Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). The initial diagnostic factor for both disorders is exposure to a traumatic event.
