General Definition of 'Complex'

Not open for further replies.
Nope. Complex is the effect upon you, typically associated to compounding events / durational events. A single trauma does not tyically have the capacity to impact complex, deep rooted, symptoms within a person. They can be impactful and difficult on the person, but still can be removed and not come back.

Complex is the same set of symptoms that now form part of the persons identity, their personality, typically because the trauma was during childhood or was of such duration (long tours in war, captivity, etc) where it can change an adults identity / personality traits to the same level.
Thanks, Anthony. I am certain that mine is "complex". (Bummer)
