Abstract

The established feature of the modern world is a steady growth on the prevalence of all the major psychiatric disorders. The global predictor of this trend is the psychic traumatization of childhood and chronic psychosocial stress, triggering cumulative mechanisms of neuroepigenetic and epidemic development of mental immunodeficiency.
The task of the study is to describe the dynamics of the syndrome of mental immunodeficiency (SMID) in the early psychic traumatization of children. Mental immunity (MI) is a multimodal interface of  consciousness and biopsychosociospiritual identity matrix as the basis for the security of the individual and society. The pathogenetic basis of the SMID is epigenetic accumulation in many generations of functional (reversible and dynamic) MI disorders that predetermine the change in the level and quality of mental health.
In the development of an epigenetic pandemic of traumatogenic mental immunodeficiency, six fractals are identified: 1) traumatogenic family; 2) pre-traumatic diathesis; 3) acute psychic trauma; 4) full-scale clinical picture; 5) chronization; 6) outcome. The main clinical manifestations of MI dysfunctions as a multimodal interface between identity and consciousness of an individual and habitat are described and systematized. Thus, the “missing link” between epigenetic pathogenesis and clinical pathoplasty of mental disorders is found. Multidisciplinary preventive-corrective and treatment-rehabilitation protocols and programs on the technological platform of mental medicine are proposed. The expression of Nobel laureate Peter Medawar, which became a textbook: “Genetics proposes, epigenetics disposes”, is appropriate to be supplemented by the mission of mental medicine, which embodies and implements project models of quality and style, the image and meaning of life in the adaptive neuroengineering and self-management of consciousness and health.
