In the affected by the Chernobyl accident in 1986 long-term consequences for mental health were revealed, mental disorders were found to be dependent on the dose and the relationship between the severity of lesions and radiation symptoms. The study of the liquidators’ health can extend the understanding of the relationship between PTSD, depression, risk of internal diseases and recovery.
