| the general population, but is almost never diagnosed because
| much like PTSD in the 80's, it's heavily underemphasized and is
| seemingly not well-popularized in psychological circles today.

| taking away from work that could be done to further dissociative
| treatment modalities/other complex trauma disorders. Sauce on the
