Abstract
This study aimed to examine the severity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in individuals suffering from chronic untreated PTSD. The study population consisted of 329 politically persecuted Poles who had never been treated for PTSD. The severity of PTSD symptoms was assessed through a psychiatric examination and a Polish version of the civilian Mississippi PTSD Questionnaire. The results from our clinical examination correlated closely with those from the Mississippi PTSD Questionnaire. PTSD symptoms tended to be moderate or mild in severity. Politically persecuted people may demonstrate the full spectrum of posttraumatic symptoms decades after the trauma.
