Introduction: Given that PTSD is a complex problem in military personnel, it is important to characterize its impact on both mental and physical health. Objectives: The purpose is to analyze the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder on the psychological and physical health of military personnel based on the consideration of illustrative clinical cases. Methods: The methods of systematic literature analysis, thematic analysis, comparison and observation were used. The latter was expressed in 2 forms: clinical and everyday observation. Based on a strict selection of scientific sources (10 inclusion criteria were formed), the most relevant and relevant literature was selected. Results: The results showed that symptoms can include agitation, reflective feelings, flashbacks to painful events. Conclusions: The paper summarizes that PTSD can manifest itself at different stages, starting with acute acute PTSD (from 1 to 3 months), chronic PTSD (more than 3 months) to delayed PTSD (after 6 months) and complex PTSD. It can lead to cardiovascular problems, digestive problems, headaches, fibromyalgia, etc. Thus, it has been established that the impact of PTSD is multifaceted, as it includes both mental and physical health problems.
