The study focused on key aspects of psychological dynamics during wartime and the adaptation to social life. The purpose of the article was to analyze the socio-psychological aspects of the mental health support system in wartime. Methods: The research methodology included analytical and synthetic methods, generalization, systematization, abstraction, and comparison. Results: The article identified the main mental health problems and difficulties that arose as a result of adaptation processes, the development of resilience, and psychological stability. It analyzed the specifics of destructive mental states under conditions of military aggression. The study investigated the peculiarities of negative mental states—particularly stress, apathy, anxiety, depression, frustration, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It examined the characteristic symptoms and progression of these conditions and proposed potential ways to minimize their manifestation through the use of personal resources and active social support. Considerable attention was given to understanding the psychological state of both the civilian population during active warfare and combatants, with the aim of ensuring timely assistance for various mental disorders. Conclusions: The article emphasized the need to integrate effective psychological programs focused on building resilience, providing rehabilitation, and supporting the mental health of both civilians and military personnel. It also highlighted the importance of raising public awareness about mental health issues during wartime and identifying effective strategies to address them.
