Rapid social transformations occurring worldwide, on the one hand, lead to the tension of adaptation mechanisms that is reflected through the prevalence of mental disorders, primarily of a psychogenic nature. On the other hand, clinical manifestations of psychogenic disorders are altering as their symptoms are always closely related to the nature of surrounding influences and to some extent reflect the patterns of social processes. From this point of view, clinical, psychopathological and pathopsychological features of adjustment disorders, and in particular in internally displaced persons, are of clinical and social importance. The purpose of the study was to explore the clinical psychopathological and pathopsychological features of psychosocial maladaptation in internally displaced persons with adjustment disorders. 45 people were diagnosed with adjustment disorders and clinically defined psychosocial maladaptation. The control group consisted of 35 healthy individuals with no signs of psychosocial maladjustment. All the participants were internally displaced from Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea. According to the results of the research, we have found out that the leading factors resulting in psychotraumas in internally displaced persons with adjustment disorders and psychosocial maladaptation include media coverage of information and family aspects. The clinical picture was characterized by the dominance of anxiety-depressive symptoms with various somatic manifestations. We have established patterns of clinical and psychopathological features typical for internally displaced people with signs of psychosocial maladaptation.
