"Stockholm syndrome has never been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the standard tool for diagnosis of psychiatric illnesses and disorders in the United States, mainly due to the lack of a consistent body of academic research and doubts about the legitimacy of the condition."

It just irks me when I see this because ppl who say it's Stockholm syndrome is basically victim blaming. No, it's strongly linked to CPTSD and it's more complex than just victim liking their abuser.
