FEATURES OF FRIENDLY INTERACTIONS THAT DETERMINE SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR OF PARTICIPANTS IN COMBAT ACTIONS

Abstract

The publication analyzes the specifics of combatants returning to the family environment. This reintegration process is complex and multidimensional, encompassing psychological, social, and domestic challenges that impact both the veterans and their relatives. It has been established that combat experience often causes psychological trauma, which may subsequently transform into mental disorders and impede full socialization in a peacetime environment. The impact of war alters an individual’s behavioral patterns, which, in turn, necessitates a restructuring of relationships with a partner and adaptation to new life realities. In addition to psychological aspects, financial factors play a significant role. The process of adaptation to the civilian labor market, as well as an unwillingness or inability to return to a previous profession, can cause temporary financial difficulties, particularly in cases where the service member was the family’s primary earner. Scientific research indicates that communication barriers constitute a significant obstacle in relationships. The specifics of military service, based on subordination and the strict execution of commands, often make it difficult to quickly transition to a flexible and emotionally open model of family communication. The situation is exacerbated by the veteran’s sense of alienation or a conscious reluctance to share traumatic experiences in order to protect their loved ones. Effective reintegration requires a comprehensive approach: the involvement of mental health professionals, family therapy, and participation in rehabilitation courses. At the same time, the success of adaptation largely depends on the resilience of the family itself – its ability to demonstrate tolerance and provide emotional support during this transitional period.
