Family violence and its different expressions, be it physical, psychological, sexual and/or negligence can initiate PTSD on children and adolescents. Furthermore, when the referred disorder is developed, they may show comorbidities, being the most frequent: Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders and Attention Deficit and Diruptive Behavior Disorders. From these observations it is indispensable to think about the necessary referrals destined to children and adolescents in the attempt of minimizing the impact and its possible chronicity.
