Introduction

Race with cars is currently one of the most popular sports.

Objectives

The aims of this study are establishing the profile of persons with posttraumatic stress disorder by using psychopathological dimensions – clinical scales (MMPI). Psychiatric measures (HAMD, HAMA, API) exploited to detect differences between acute and delayed type of PTSD on the level of depression, anxiety, and readiness for panic.

Methods

The research included 30 drivers: 20 have reacted with acute and 10 with delayed onset of PTSD. Diagnosis criteria were DSM-V.

Results

The scores on subscales at MMPI personality profile for acute and delayed type of PTSD, are much higher D (T=80.15, t=3.10, p<0.05) and Hy (T=79.25, t=3.02, p<0.05), in relate to normal (T=70). There was high level of appearing the structural correlates D (t=4.22, p<0.01) and HS (t=3.43, p<0.01) in delayed PTSD in relate to acute.

Conclusions

There is a higher level of depression (HAMD: t=4.03, p<0.01) and of anxiety (HAMA: t=3.05, p<0.05). There is no statistical difference between acute and delayed PTSD, considering the panic. Whether running risk remains controversial.
