Abstract:
In the article, clinical symptoms of disorders presently considered posttraumatic have been comprised. Apart from PTSD and ASD they constitute personality changes, chronic and brief psychotic disorders and depression. Most disorders were described from the perspective of ICD and DSM criteria. The analysis of classic (KZ-Syndrome) and postulated disorders (COMPLEX PTSD) were added as well as the most frequently misinterpreted ones, that is adaptation disorders in ICD, with the reactions to trauma. The article was completed with a questionnaire which helps the researchers verify the diagnosis and differentiate between PTSD, ASD and a permanent personality change. The questionnaire may be a convenient way to estimate the number of symptoms and their descriptions for the consultation and certification purposes.
