%X The article presents the results of a theoretical analysis of the problem of preserving human mental health in war conditions. The causes of mental disorders and the peculiarities of their course in wartime conditions are indicated. The possibilities of implementing the classic scheme of providing mental health care services during the war and the peculiarities of the functioning of the national health care system. The article presents the results of an empirical study, which indicates that in the conditions of war, people lose the ability to reflect on the future and confidence in their own abilities to solve complex life tasks. According to the results of the locus of health control study, it was established that the subjects lose internal control over their physical and mental state, they lose the ability to influence their lives and place responsibility for it on other people. Many people who suffered from military events show signs of inability to influence their own destiny, to create a comfortable space for life. In the studied subjects, there is a shift of the external locus of control towards the «strong other»: people who are empowered and have the opportunity to help, which creates a certain helplessness in solving problems that a person has the opportunity to solve independently, however, in war conditions, he doubts his own forces and later loses the desire to solve any life tasks, transferring responsibility to other persons. Such trends in the development of the locus of mental health control in the population of Ukraine will force another (this time extremely unproductive) reform of the existing health care system, creating conditions for solving acute problems and losing the potential for the use of internal self-help mechanisms, which the classic model is aimed at mental health protection WHO.
