Apparently there are a variety of reasons why (including that including complex PTSD in the DSM would rid of nearly half of the diagnosis's, and thus cause severe issues for the Pharmaceutical companies).
What are the distinct differences between severe ptsd and complex ptsd? And why would it rid half the diagnosis's? I highly doubt that Pharm companies are banking on keeping complex ptsd from being recognized in order to make their money. There is plenty of money to be made in the mental illness industry.

For example: Why diagnose someone with Complex PTSD (the root of the problem) when they can diagnose someone with ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Clinical Depression - and make money off prescribing drugs.
You really believe that the power of the drug companies is somehow squashing c-ptsd to make money off of the above conditions??
