The article is devoted to the theoretical-psychological
analysis of the neuro-psychological
tension of the individual in a situation of uncertainty,
which acquires special importance in the
conditions of military aggression. The information
field is saturated with breaking news and
images of war, death and destruction, and this
information is overwhelming and frightening
for people. All this affects the emotional health
of Ukrainians, provokes anxiety and stress.
Research shows that people respond differently
to uncertainty, and that people with a higher tolerance
for uncertainty may be less resilient and
more prone to low mood, negative or depressed
feelings, and anxiety. A large part of the uncertainty
is directly related to the experience of
neuropsychological tension, which leads to significant
psychophysiological changes and can
outwardly manifest itself in the form of negative
emotions, changes in behavior, psychosomatic
disorders, etc. There is a limited understanding
of the concepts of nervous and mental stress
and mental tension. Thus, the author’s nervous
and mental tension belongs to the category of
mental states, and mental tension belongs to the
category of mental personality traits. The article
states that nervous and mental stress accompanies
any complex activity and much depends
on the level of preparation for it. Unfavorable
factors that increase nervous and mental stress
are singled out. The degrees and classification
of nervous-psychic stress in accordance with
those mental functions, the change of which
is most pronounced in adverse conditions, are
considered. The level and degree of nervous
and mental stress depending on various conditions,
in particular, on the resources distributed
by the organism, were analyzed. The dependence
of stress levels on the age and gender of
the individual is considered. It has been proven
that nervous and mental stress in a situation of
uncertainty is the cause and at the same time
one of the functional manifestations of emotional
stress.
