@@berkslaw Psychopathy in women is different than men. Men will generally target their victims directly with overt aggression. Psychopathic women are more likely to attack you indirectly. Notice how Veronica bought the Glock pistol & rather than just use it against Ron directly, that she made very clear that she hated, she instead used relational aggression by harming their daughters to get at him. Psychopathic women have little to no empathy or remorse, that's why she could commit those horrific acts & still claim that she is a good mother. Female psychopaths are also masters at playing the victim card. Veronica accused her husband of abuse & financially neglecting her & their daughters but it was always proven with evidence that he was never guilty of either to those things.

Hi! Someone with actual C-PTSD here. My diagnosis came from the fact that unlike with PTSD, my trauma is repeated and drawn out, mine being for over a decade. While it is classified as the more "intense" form of PTSD, it will never justify someone commiting murder, and for someone to try and say so is not only idiotic but harmful.

[@lauren9667]

Thank you! I also have been formally diagnosed with C-PTSD. I appreciate you expressing that the condition is real and we’re not being dramatic. We don’t have PTSD, but that takes nothing away from the trauma endured by people who do. It’s just more complicated - I liken it to a tangled ball of string. You can only pull on an end (and deal with the emotions) for a short time before you run into a knot. Then you have to deal with that (or add it to an ever growing list). And you are 100% right - nothing justifies murdering your children. I wish you well on your journey of recovery.

[@SnuffalupagusRising]

I just commented the same as I know it's a new definition, but it has valid diagnostics that help therapists know how to treat you. It's not about a misery Olympics but having multiple sources of trauma across an extended timeframe, sometimes with multiple people, is going to have a different treatment plan than one incident in a lifetime. Both can result in PTSD (also acute and chronic), but they're different diagnostics. And neither should be used to justify murder. This mom just sucks.

[@SnuffalupagusRising]

​@@lauren9667 Agree. Just like doctors use different distinctions to treat you, therapists do as well. It's a bit silly as someone with say pneumonia wouldn't call someone with double pneumonia dramatic. 😂 It's literally just treatment criteria to know how to help you. Good luck on your journey. ♥️

So I have been diagnosed with CPTSD from a psychiatrist after my disclosure of severe childhood trauma to my therapist. I was told that complex PTSD is different than PTSD as PTSD is typically a singular event or singular episode such as a plane crash or serving in the military, whereas complex PTSD often comes from childhood abuse, resulting in trauma that has Shaped the child in a way that they don’t know their authentic self because they always had to be on guard for incoming abuse. There may not be a diagnosis in the DSM 5 for CPTSD currently but I’m positive it will only be a matter of time until it is included as its own diagnosis.

[@pocho689]

Thank you for that.

[@mickmcsherry5916]

The diagnosis IS in the ICD, though.

[@lostandfound5145]

Totally agree. We are still learning so much about trauma and the nervous system. Just because it isn’t in the DSM yet doesn’t mean it isn’t legitimate. It’s completely logical to consider that a single traumatic event (a plane crash, for example) is going to affect someone with PTSD differently than someone that, say, has been in 10 plane crashes. Same for an adult that undergoes trauma as an adult vs a child that undergoes trauma as a child. Low level chronic trauma interspersed with high level traumatic events throughout childhood is definitely going to manifest differently in the nervous system than a single serious traumatic event in childhood. There’s so much more to learn so we can help people heal. Sometimes Dr Grande shows that intellectual elitist attitude that he harbors just a little too much of, even though I like the guy a lot, it’s definitely a flaw he has.

"The World Health Organization (WHO)'s International Statistical Classification of Diseases has included CPTSD since its eleventh revision that was published in 2018 and came into effect in 2022 (ICD-11). The previous edition (ICD-10) proposed a diagnosis of Enduring Personality Change after Catastrophic Event (EPCACE), which was an ancestor of CPTSD. Besides, Healthdirect Australia (HDA) and the British National Health Service (NHS), have also acknowledged CPTSD as a mental disorder. However, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has not included CPTSD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. It has nonetheless proposed: Disorders of Extreme Stress - not otherwise specified (DESNOS) since the DSM-IV, which is a mental disorder close to CPTSD". It's disappointing and disingenuous to claim CPTSD is only used to "make PTSD sound more dramatic". It's unequivocally false. I've been diagnosed with this exact disorder, not because I wanted to be more dramatic, but because a licensed psychiatrist diagnosed me with it. But as per usual, if it doesn't exist in America, it doesn't exist at all, apparently. Don't devalue people's illnesses and diagnosis. Because of claims such as the one you made here, people genuinely suffering and diagnosed with this disorder are going to be ignored and laughed at because people are going to think they're just "trying to be dramatic", when in reality they were legitimately diagnosed by someone with FAR more qualifications than yourself and your "PhD in counselling". As someone in a mental health related field, you should be dismantling the stigma around mental illnesses, not perpetuating it. It's honestly disgusting and yet another reason I'm close to leaving this channel for good. Be better going forward. Note: Her using CPTSD as an excuse for murdering her own children in cold blood is beyond disgusting and fucked up. I'm definitely not giving her any leeway here for that.

I’m sorry, I usually nod my head in agreement with you, Dr. Grande, but I can’t let this slide. I have been diagnosed complex PTSD by a licensed mental health provider with extensive training in treating trauma. I’m not trying to make it more dramatic. I’d do anything not to have it. For the other viewers, no one with CPTSD would ever call PTSD “simple”. It is not simple. It’s a horrible thing to go through and I wouldn’t trade CPTSD for PTSD. CPTSD has all the symptoms of PTSD along with emotional disregulation, problems maintaining relationships and a messed up sense of self. Maybe calling it complex PTSD is a mistake because it minimizes the trauma of both types of sufferers. Veronica Youngblood may well have CPTSD, I’m not a psychologist, so take this for what it’s worth: She never learned how to create healthy relationships. Being abandoned would definitely cause a messed up sense of self. She was a sex worker, so that reinforced the pattern of bad relationships and a negative sense of self. The affairs and the “on again off again” divorce are excellent examples of emotional disregulation. What never comes up in CPTSD discussions is violence. She may have CPTSD, but she’s also a cold blooded killer. The diagnosis does not give her a pass for all the horrible things she did to her husband and ultimately her children. There’s a reason the insanity plea rarely works and that’s because there are so few people with mental health disorders that are not conscious of right and wrong. May she rot in prison for what she did to those beautiful girls.

[@claesyoungberg1695]

Thank you for your excellent explanation of C-PTSD and how it makes sense that Veronica would have acquired it. Agree, of course that suffering from PTSD in any form does not excuse cold-blooded premeditated murder.

Only way you COULD use PTSD as a defense would be if it were a situation that triggered a belief that your life was in danger.

Outside of that type of situation, PTSD has nothing to do with defending murder.

When you’re having a PTSD “flashback” you react physically to a trigger with an adrenaline dump but you’re not psychotic.

A Standard Case on the Nature of Poverty and Manipulation In this case, poverty is not merely a "material" condition- no food, no place to sleep, no place to bathe. These might be aspects of the problem, but people who live in poverty by definition become cynical because of the hassles of life. Veronica was attractive. Men were willing to pay for sex with her; it's completely understandable. She understood early on, as a teenager, that if she was going to move forward at all it would come by trading on her looks. And isn't this what we all do to earn a living? We trade on whatever we have of value that leads to survival. An American man comes along. He "rescues" her from poverty. Undoubtedly he was willing to pay big time to have sex with her. But because a sex worker never gets past understanding sex as a trade, not an expression of love, the marriage failed. No surprise there. Veronica is a failed person. But can we really blame her?

[@kaineandrews3790]

Yes. Because your story doesn’t account for the part where she planned and then executed the death of her two children and tried to slip out from the consequences. It doesn’t account for the times she filed false reports to her husband’s superiors and law enforcement. It doesn’t account for her cheating. We can blame her for quite a lot. Plenty of people, be they poor, rich or in between, with a good upbringing or a terrible one, rely on “sell what you’ve got” to get by. Plenty of them involve adult entertainment.
