One of the main tasks of the psychologists of the Center for PPD and PPV is to organize measures of psychological protection against the effects of combat stress and increase psychological stress resistance.

Combat stress appears in a serviceman in extreme conditions of professional activity, which is accompanied by the action of powerful external and internal stress factors. They pose a threat to the life of a serviceman, adversely affect his health, reduce the effectiveness of activities, or lead to its disruption.

It manifests itself both on physiological and psychological levels. The main components of psychological stress are emotional and informational stress. In combination, they have a negative impact on the serviceman, which leads first to an acute stage of stress, and then it can turn into post-traumatic stress disorder.

That is why it is important to organize the necessary psychological assistance in time to prevent possible traumatic consequences.
