The stages of personality formation are regulated by qualitative and quantitative changes in a person's physiological development and the consequences of his interaction with the surrounding world. These processes are controlled by the nervous system and subordinate to the mental functions of the individual. Taking this into account, the problem of mental disorders becomes relevant at the current state of the development of society, where external circumstances, in particular, rapid transformational processes in the economic and social spheres of society, as well as the exacerbation of political conflicts, influence the formation and deepening of negative mental properties in the population. In this regard, the purpose of the research work was to determine the characteristics of external driving factors that lead to the development of destructive neoplasm in the mental activity of an individual, as well as to identify internal determinants that provoke violations in the behavioural and cognitive-emotional spheres of a person. At the same time, it became important to determine modern ways of supporting the mental health of an individual to ensure the process of restoring his/her social and psychological ties in society. The basis of the theoretical-methodological approach was the qualitative analytical research methods of studying the problem of mental disorders of the personality and the substantive analysis of psychotherapeutic assistance in the treatment of mental disorders. The research paper presents data that reflect the current state of the problem of mental disorders of the personality in the global space, highlight their aetiology and describe effective approaches to combating them. The obtained results of the scientific research are significant for workers in the psychological field, who implement their professional activities in psychotherapeutic practice, as well as for teachers and social organizations for a comprehensive understanding of the symptoms and course of mental disorders of the personality and directions of therapy.
