Different factors affect the mental health of an individual, especially young people. They can be endogenous and exogenous. Among the exogenes, the primary family occupies a prominent place, because the family is the child's primary community and the first support at birth. The focus of this paper is the family and the transmission of symptoms of mental disabilities from generation to generation. The aim of the research was to examine the mental health of yound with parents who have different experiences of suffering in the Homeland War as well as the level of received formal social support. Research participants come from three groups of young people - the first group are children whose parents have PTSD diagnosis, and the other consists of children whose parents have a different experience of war-related consequences (displaced persons, loss of close persons, defenders ...), while the third group Consists of children whose parents do not have the experiences mentioned in the Homeland War. All respondents were young in the age of 20-30 years (N = 228). In the questionnaire submitted to them via the web, we examined the occurrence of anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms by means of Scale of Depression, Anxiety and Stress (DASS, Lovibond, and Lovibond, 1995). The results show that the experience of war damage to parents can also be a trigger for psychological problems Young people, if severe war conditions are accompanied by lack of support from the state and the system, and we believe that the inadequate response of the state during the war and immediately afterwards results in a greater degree of anxiety and depression in the children of defenders and other victims.
