213 internally displaced persons were examined, which were divided into 3 groups: 94 people (44.13 %) of the total number examined were included in group I, who did not have any manifestations of mental disorders, 68 people (31.92 %), in whom certain symptoms of mental disorders were identifi ed, made up the II group, and 51 people (23.94 %), included in the III group, who were diagnosed with mental disorders and who received specialized psychiatric care. As a result of the study, it was found that in group II the structure of the psychoemotional state of the examineds was characterized by the presence of separate symptoms that did not reach the level of clinical signifi cance, and in group III the emotional disturbances of the anxiety-depressive spectrum and disorders associated with psychogenic factors predominated. The features of the mental state of internally displaced persons are determined and it is proved that a decrease in the adequacy of the use of coping strategies negatively aff ects the mental state of internally displaced persons.
