Abstract
Background: Co-occurrence of psychosis and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms has been demonstrated, but the ICD-11 marks
a significant divergence in the formulation of PTSD with a focus on the
core symptoms and the addition of complex PTSD (CPTSD).
Objective: To evaluate the distribution of psychosis and traumatic stress
symptoms using the ICD-11 conceptualisation of PTSD and CPTSD.
Method: A latent class analysis was conducted on psychosis symptoms,
PTSD and CPTSD among a random adult sample from the UK general
population with a history of traumatic events (N = 1,051).
Results: Six classes were identified; a low-symptom class, a PTSD-class,
a CPTSD-class, a class characterized by disturbances in self-organization
alone as well as two classes characterized by CPTSD and various levels of
psychosis symptom endorsement. Cumulative childhood adversity predicted
membership of the PTSD, CPTSD and comorbid classes in a dose-response
manner with the strongest effects observed for classes characterised by
comorbid symptoms.
Conclusion: The present study confirms the co-occurrence of psychosis
symptoms and ICD-11 PTSD and CPTSD. Psychosis symptoms did not
emerge in isolation from traumatic stress symptoms, underpinning the
need for a greater recognition of psychosis symptoms as part of the
broader clinical picture among trauma-exposed populations.
