- The study investigates the prevalence of complex PTSD (CPTSD) and its symptoms in individuals seeking treatment for eating disorders, focusing on the new ICD-11 criteria that includes disturbances in self-organization (DSO).
- Findings indicate that about one-third of participants experienced PTSD symptoms, while over half reported DSO symptoms, with a higher prevalence of CPTSD (28.4%) compared to PTSD (3.8%).
- The research highlights a significant correlation between CPTSD symptoms and the severity of eating disorder symptoms, suggesting a need for integrated treatment approaches targeting both eating disorders and trauma-related issues. !*
