It is established that signs of raised level of adaptation disorders (with probable formation of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)) are found out at least in 3.3 % of civilians (in conditions of destruction of 2 % of available housing and 0.21 % mortality of population, after one month after the termination of battle actions).
