PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF MANIFESTATIONS AND CORRECTION OF SEXUAL DISORDERS IN MILITARY PERSONNEL UNDER CONDITIONS OF MILITARY STRESS

Abstract

The article provides a clinical and neurological analysis of the state of military personnel, syndromic disorders, including sexual dysfunctions under conditions of military stress. A multidisciplinary clinical and neurological analysis of military personnel, combatants reveals long-term functional neurological disorders in the structure of PTSD with characteristic fragmentation, intermittency, and episodicity under the influence of harmful social information stressors. A manifested disorder occurs when one of the components (mental, neurohumoral, erectile, ejaculatory) shows abnormalities under the influence of social stressors in peacetime. The results of the empirical study revealed that military personnel have predominant indicators of traumatic stress, namely: «excessive vigilance» and «substance abuse». In fact, «excessive vigilance» mainly manifests itself in the form of constant physical and mental stress, which does not allow a person to relax and rest. As a result, servicemen abuse drugs or medications in order to relax. However, the non-dominant indicators of traumatic stress are «exaggerated reaction», «unwanted memories and hallucinatory experiences», «sleep problems», and «survivor's guilt». Other indicators are slightly or partially manifested. It was also found that erectile dysfunction was most often observed in combatants, especially after a military operation. The main cause of sexual dysfunction in servicemen is stress factors for the majority of servicemen, and a significant social stressor for servicemen who adhere to psychological norms. The process of social and psychological restoration of a serviceman's personality is considered, which consists of the following stages: preparatory, basic and supportive, each of which uses certain rehabilitation technologies. The organic combination of procedural, technical aspects of rehabilitation and value-semantic aspects of maintaining and restoring the psychological health of the individual ensures the consistent successful passage of each stage.
