[The addictive behavior of servicemen under combat conditions].
On the basis of the analysis of literature the authors make a correction in the significance of terms "addiction" and "addictive behaviour", making from them a single notion "additive disorders". The article analyses the problem of addictive disorders which occupied an important place among psychiatric casualties in the 40th Army during the war in Afghanistan. The comparison of this experience with the experience of the US Army in Korea and Vietnam gave the possibility to come to a conclusion that addictive disorders were an important medico-social problem for modern local wars. Its subdivision into addictive behaviour and narcomanic pathology lead to a necessity to revise some aspects in psychiatric care to servicemen in wartime period.
