title: [Consequences of sexual abuse in children and adolescence].
abstract: To establish clinical and age peculiarities of psychogenic disorders in children and adolescence, victims of non-family abuse, 90 victims, aged from 5 to 18 years (29 boys and 61 girls) have been studied. On different stages of legally significant situation, they developed marked psychogenic states which met the following ICD-10 diagnosis: acute reaction to stress (item F43.0) in 84% of patients, PTSD (F42.1) in 14%; short-term depressive reaction (F43.20) in 34%; prolonged depressive reaction (F43.21)--in 24%; phobic anxiety disorders (F40)--in 16% minors (9-13 years); mixed disturbance of emotions and conduct (F43.25)--in 12% of minors. The age specifics of mental disorders included the domination of disorders of neurotic level and rudimentary psychopathological signs. The author emphasizes the double (nonspecific and specific) nature of sexual abuse in the formation of psychogenic disorders in children.
