Medical and social consequencessocially-disadaptative post-combat syndrome

Abstract

Participation in hostilities is a risk factor for the development of mental disorders associated with war. This group of disorders is called "combat stress reaction" [1, 2]. It is proved that "combat stress reaction" can lead to social maladaptation of servicemen who fell ill, and affect the combat effectiveness of the army, reducing it by 10-50% [3 - 6]. Mental disorders caused by participation in hostilities are divided into early and delayed disorders. Delayed disorders include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Socially-Disadaptative Post-Combat syndrome [7]. At the same time, it has been brought to the detriment of self-esteem of the service providers and may be seen from the legacy [8, 9].
