In recent years, 1.5 million internally displaced persons from Donetsk, Luhansk regions and Crimea have been registered in Ukraine. Half a million people of working age experienced psychological traumas due to the need to migrate. This psychological traumatic experience can produce a significant impact on the further life and all spheres of activity. Better understanding of the patterns underlying the formation of psychosocial maladjustment in forced migrants with neurotic disorders, early diagnosis of adjustment disorders in this group of population, effective psychosocial rehabilitation and prevention of traumatic experience can contribute into solving the pressing issues of modern psychiatry: to prevent efficiency failure, disturbances in social functioning and lower quality of life. The purpose of the work was to determine the dominant variants and severity of psychosocial maladjustment in internally displaced persons with neurotic pathology. We examined 78 persons who are internally displaced persons from Donetsk, Luhansk regions and Crimea diagnosed to have pathologies of the neurotic register. According to the results obtained, it has been found out that the nosological structure of the internally displaced persons is represented mainly by adjustment disorders in 28 persons (35.9%), mixed anxiety-depressive disorder in 25 (32.1%) and somatoform disorders in 13 (16, 7%) individuals. Psychosocial maladjustment was detected in a large majority of patients, in 69 (88%) people. Maladjustment in the main group reached mainly moderate and severe levels, while in the control group we revealed mild and moderate levels of the maladjustment. The combined variants of psychosocial maladjustment have been found out to prevail in patients with non-psychotic mental disorders of the main group, among them the leading place it taken by the information sphere.
