PTSD is a post-traumatic stress disorder that develops after exposure to a long-term or extreme stressor that is difficult or impossible to get rid of. Combatants are especially at risk of developing PTSD, given the presence of traumatic events experienced during military service. According to statistics, the probability of developing this disease depends on the presence of a severe injury, mutilation and can increase up to 30%. Risk factors for the development of post-traumatic stress disorder in military personnel were analyzed. In the course of this study, we analyzed the medical records of 27 combatants aged 22 to 49 years with an established diagnosis of PTSD. As a result of the study, we found that the risk of PTSD correlates with active combat operations, injuries, disability, death of comrades, mobilization, aggravated psychopathological anamnesis and craving for alcohol. As for people who signed a contract, it was possible to reveal that more than half of the military personnel have a family. Therefore, it can be assumed that one of the goals is the desire to provide a decent future for their children, to protect their family, home and loved ones. In turn, the lack of support from the family and the loss of loved ones also negatively affect the emotional state and mental health of soldiers. It should be noted that PTSD therapy is a long-term process and it can be imagined that after the end of the SVO, the number of combatants entering medical institutions for follow-up treatment and rehabilitation will increase, which will increase the burden on the healthcare system.
