| Abstract: | Results obtained from clinical and psychopathological studies of 161 patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) aged 3–18 years with symptom durations from one month to four years are presented. Four major clinical variants of the type of PTSD were identified in children and adolescents: insomniac( 34.8%), phobic (23.6%), psychopathic-like (21.7%), and asthenic-depressive (19.9%). These variants, differing in terms of course and prognosis, occurred at different frequencies in different age and ethnic groups; there were no gender-related differences. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Nevrologii i Psikhiatrii imeni S.
