MODERN APPROACHES TO THE THERAPY OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Currently, the relevance, and at the same time the interest of researchers, to such a psychiatric disease as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has greatly increased. Socio-economic, environmental, anthropogenic, epide¬mic events can become the very causative factor of sufficient intensity that will trigger the pathogenesis of PTSD. In the era of globalization, the social significance of this disease is higher than ever. If the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of victims are not carried out in a timely manner, then the likelihood of chronic PTSD symptoms with a gradual pathological transformation of the patient's personality becomes high. These pathological personality changes are not only a heavy burden for each patient and his environment but also additional healthcare expenses for rehabilitation. At the moment, various treatment regimens have already been developed, but none of them is universal and comprehensive. New therapeutic approaches are needed that can provide patients with a stable remission in the shortest possible time preventing their maladjustment in society. In addition, the problem of compliance in such patients, as well as the presence of resistant forms of PTSD comorbid with other psychiatric conditions is quite acute.
