Separation anxiety is diagnosed in children.
Dependent and borderline personality is the adult version.
I believe that there needs to be an adult attachment disorder, as all too often the diagnostic boundaries are blurry.
Emotional dysregulation is part of borderline, as well as depression, bipolar, etc.
It's all basically caused by relational trauma, which could fit C-PTSD in many cases.
Anyway. I 'just' have complicated depression caused by a series of traumatic and abusive life circumstances. Is enough for me. It would be nice if C-PTSD was medically acknowledged, but c'est la vie!
If I listed, like, everything that I could have, well, it would be a very long list.
Psychiatrists tend to go with a primary diagnosis, at least that's my experience.
I like to deconstruct the DSM, can't you tell!? :P I'd like to re-write it all one day, from a client centred perspective.
