The aim of this work was to develop, implement, and approbate the system of integrated rehabilitation for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with diff erent variants of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

These persons constituted the main group of the surveyed. As a control group were examined 117 mentally healthy servicemen of AFU, who had participated in military operations in Eastern Ukraine.

The developed rehabilitative modules for patients with dysphoric, anxious, asthenic and hypochondriacal variants of PTSD include measures of pre-medical (self-aid, mutual assistance, emergency psychological aid) and medical care (pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, psycho-education, and socio-psychological support).
