Two veterans have been diagnosed PTSD during questioning by the method of Mississippi scale, Combat version. Findings. Clinical use of the questionnaire Mississippi scale, Combat version [Keane TM et al., 1987, 1988] allows to reveal veterans with early signs of PTSD, which is important for the early start of rehabilitation.

A small number of veterans surveyed do not allow more serious conclusions. Research into this problem requires special attention from doctors of Ukraine, especially in the conditions of continuing military operations in the country.
