The study included people of both genders and adults who had at least one year of residence in the border area of the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Results: 49.68% women and 50.36% men had ptsd.

Conclusions: the ptsd was more frequent in women and the most common factors were theft and rape and/or sexual abuse. The results of this study show that conditions of security and life in general in patients who belong to this group of the umf differ with those of the rest of Mexico; where it has been identified that from 1% to 5% of the population has been exposed to ptsd in contrast with more than 49% identified in this research.
