Abstract

The release of ICD-11 has resulted in an expansion of diagnostic entities for trauma- and stress-related disorders. This resulted, at least temporarily, in discrepancies with the DSM-5. This situation is outlined and a look is taken at the potential diagnosis of 'continuous traumatic stress reaction'.

Keywords: ICD-11; PTSD; adjustment disorder; complex PTSD; prolonged grief disorder.
