Abstract: Against the backdrop of a protracted military conflict, the mental health of servicemen who sustained numerous injuries during combat missions had become increasingly relevant. This study addressed the psychological states of combatants in the context of their professional functioning during war and their subsequent adaptation to civilian life. The purpose of the research was to analyze key factors that supported the mental health of military personnel. The methodology involved analysis and synthesis, systematization, comparison, generalization, and abstraction. The study identified major difficulties faced by combatants in adapting to normal social roles following prolonged combat exposure. It examined manifestations of destructive mental states, including anxiety, apathy, depression, stress, frustration, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The research analyzed the characteristics and symptoms of these conditions and explored ways to alleviate or overcome them through active social support, religious practices, and the mobilization of personal psychological resources. Particular attention was given to the psychological state of combatants after returning from active duty and the importance of timely mental health interventions. The factors influencing the psychological well-being of soldiers are examined through the prism of interaction between society and culture. The findings emphasized the need for effective rehabilitation programs, greater public awareness, and targeted psychological support to facilitate the reintegration and long-term well-being of former servicemen.
