Abstract
Various approaches to diagnostics of adaptation disorders in servicemen are analyzed. For that, 57 patients of the main (servicemen) and 35 of the control (civilians) groups with anxiety and depressive symptoms were surveyed. The clinimetrical scales (HRDS, HARS, HADS), clinical-psychopathological and pictopolygraphical methods were applied. Objective and subjective estimates of mental state in servicemen seemed to differ, especially in depressive symptoms intensity. Among civilians, similar indicators did not differ reliably. Pictopolygraphical method was shown to increase accuracy when diagnosing disorders of adaptation in servicemen.
