Introduction International experience convincingly shows the prevalence of mental disorders secondary to COVID-19, the pathogenesis of which includes biological and psychosocial factors, which characterizes this area of research as relevant and timely. Objectives Analysis of the structure of the most common forms of psychopathology within consequences in COVID-19. Methods The study involved 45 patients with depressive episodes of varying severity (F 32.0, 32.1, 32.2) and 37 ones with anxiety disorders (F 40, 41). The average age of the examined groups was 39.42 ± 5.68 and 31.54 ± 4.36 years respectively. Clinico-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic, statistical methods were used. Results Significantly more patients with depressive disorders before the first clinical manifestations of the disease experienced COVID-19 in mild and moderate form (31.82% and 68.18% of individuals, respectively) (p <0.05), while patients with anxiety disorders were more affected to some stressors of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic (including threatening information background (83.78% of people), quarantine measures in the form of self-isolation (75.66% of people), uncertainty of the impact of coronavirus infection on the socio-economic situation) (62.16% of people)) (p < 0.05). It was found that the examined patients with a history of coronavirus COVID-19 are more likely to have depressive and asthenic syndromes in the clinical picture (p < 0.05), while patients with psychogenic effects of the pandemic - anxiety-phobic and somato-autonomic syndromes (p < 0,05). Conclusions Data on the influence of coronavirus disease COVID-19 and stressors of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the formation of mental disorders of various genesis will allow to develop prevention algorithms and personalize therapeutic programs.

IntroductionThere are about 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine, which requires an assessment of their mental health.ObjectivesTo develop a psychoeducational program aimed at informing about the clinical manifestations (markers of symptoms) of mental disorders, the possibilities of preventing their formation and options for action in conditions of the formation or exacerbation of a mental state.Methods270 IDPs were examined. Methods: clinical-psychopathological, psychometric, statistical.ResultsEvaluation of the mental state of IDPs with symptoms of mental disorders (risk group (31.92%)) indicates the presence of various emotional disorders that formed individual syndromes – asthenic (41.18%), agrypnic (45.59%), somato-vegetative (30.88%), anxiety-depressive (20, 59%). The risk factors for the development of mental disorders in IDPs were identified - the older age is from 50 to 59 and the average age is from 40 to 49 years; lack of a complete family, lack of work, low level of social employment, lack of satisfactory living conditions, a significant decrease in the level of well-being, the preservation of the significance of factors of mental trauma, the presence of certain prenosological syndromes. The proposed psychoeducational program is built on the principle of thematic seminars with elements of social and psychological training.ConclusionsThe implementation of the program provides a comprehensive impact on the cognitive, emotional, psychophysiological, behavioral and social aspects of personality functioning.

IntroductionUnder contemporary social circumstances, there is a tendency to increasing of amount of persons disposed to addictive behavior (AB) as a mean to remove psychoemotional tension and to solve their significant problems. This tendency raises in patients with neurotic disorders (ND) that influences on clinical manifestations of the pathology and impedes diagnosis and timely care for this category of patients.AimTo investigate AB in the structure of neurotic disorders (F44.7, F40.8, F48.0).MethodsAssessment of personal addictive status with AUDIT-like tests to detect disorders related to substance and non-substance abuse; 109 patients with ND (main group) and 52 persons without ND (control group) were examined.ResultsIt was revealed that patients with ND had significantly higher risk of AB formation (59.73% compared with 21.15% in healthy persons; P < 0.0001). According to the group comparison, in patients with ND levels of AB expression on parameters of “Job” (12.06 points), “Food” (11.98 points), “Internet” (11.10 points), “TV” (8.82 points), “Shopping” (6.59 points) were significantly higher than in healthy persons (9.73; 9.23; 9.00; 7.38; 4.25 points, respectively; P < 0.05). However, levels of keenness on computer were significantly higher in healthy persons (3.48 points) than in patients with ND (2.34 points; P < 0.05). AB connected with substance abuse was not registered in the groups.ConclusionsThe results suggest that the patients use AB in forms of food, Internet, job, TV, shopping dependencies as a subconscious mechanism substituting unsatisfied needs and decreasing motivation-emotional tension under conditions of a frustration conflict.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
