As a result of examining 211 persons with severe somatic pathology (the crush syndrome, multiple fractures, spinal cord injuries, and so forth) received during the earthquake, 179 (84.8%) manifested psychopathological disorders. Of these, 70 persons (33.2%) had asthenia, consciousness disturbances, insomnia which were viewed as somatogenic, 17 persons (8.1%) with craniocerebral injury had the signs of the establishment of the psycho-organic syndrome, and in 109 persons (51%), the clinical picture was determined by psychogenically conditioned depressive, anxious-phobic and psychopathic reactions. The data obtained allow one to judge the characteristics of the mental status during the subacute period (from the first to the second week) after the earthquake.
