Cool. Which one?
> I am (with many others) currently in a workplace situation with a boss who is a total control freak (and diagnosed with borderline and OCD) and we are getting more and more miserable.
I can't imagine that situation being easy.
> Half of our area is now taking antidepressants or suffering from psychosomatic illnesses. Could this workplace stress over months/years be actually a complex PTSD symptomology brought on by an abusive boss?
I don't know that it would be posttraumatic stress so much as the type of anxiety that often arises from difficult interpersonal situations. What particular kinds of things does your boss do that upset people at work, if you're comfortable talking about it?
