Abstract

Exposure to multiple traumatic events, particularly in childhood, has been shown to result in more complex symptoms than those seen after exposure to a single traumatic event. In case of overlooking the link between trauma and psychopathology, patients with multiple traumatic experiences receive a variety of different diagnoses that are unable to completely cover the clinical picture. Misdiagnoses of genuine cases inevitably lead to mistreatment. A diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder has been proposed to cover the emerging psychopathology in survivors of multiple traumas. This present report aimed to discuss the construct and to increase the awareness of complex post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis among mental health professionals.

Özet

Özellikle çocukluk döneminden itibaren başlayan uzun süreli ve tekrarlayan çok sayıda travmatik olaya maruz kalanlarda ortaya çıkan belirtilerin, travma sonrası stres bozukluğunda görülen tek ya da belirli travmatik olay sonrasında gelişen belirtilerden çok daha karmaşık olduğu gösterilmiştir. Travma ile psikopatoloji arasındaki bağlantının anlaşılamaması, karmaşık belirtilere sahip bu hastalara çok sayıda ve var olan klinik belirtileri tam olarak kapsamayan farklı tanılar konulmasına sebep olmaktadır. Bu hastaların ele alınışındaki eksik kavrayış kaçınılmaz olarak yetersiz tedavilerin uygulanmasıyla sonuçlanmaktadır. Çoklu travma mağduru hastalarda gelişen psikopatolojiyi tanımlamak için karmaşık travma sonrası stres bozukluğu tanısı önerilmiştir. Bu yazıda bir olgu sunumu eşliğinde karmaşık travma sonrası stres bozukluğu tanısının ülkemiz ruh sağlığı çalışanları arasında düşük olan farkındalık düzeyinin arttırılması ve kavramın tartışılması hedeflenmiştir.
