Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) is not classified as a personality disorder; it is recognized as a trauma-related disorder. It arises from prolonged exposure to traumatic events, often during childhood, and is characterized by symptoms such as emotional dysregulation, negative self-perception, and difficulties in relationships. While it can lead to personality changes or traits that may resemble those found in personality disorders, C-PTSD itself is distinct and focuses on the effects of trauma rather than enduring personality patterns.
