0.5 Percent of the Population Suffer from Severe Psychological Trauma

Trauma-related disorders were previously classified under one single diagnosis – post-traumatic stress disorder. Now, a representative survey carried out by a UZH psychopathologist has shown for the first time how often such disorders are present in a more severe form. According to the findings, more than 0.5 percent of people in Germany suffer from complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
