Borderline mental and personality disorders in combatants in peacetime

[Psychiatry]
Oleg Boev;

The combat stress reaction is often causes in combatants even in peacetime the personality decompensations and behavioral maladaptations – delinquent, addictive, aggressive behavior as well as borderline personality disorders – obsessions and phobias, dysthymia and asthenia. The presented disorders depend on the structure of the personal psychotype and location in the mental constitution range. The severity of clinical manifestations in combatants depends upon the initial mental constitutional range: norm-accentuation or abnormal borderline and that determines the prognosis of the level of the social maladjustment.
