a brief concise definition of the state of the mental system (psychological status), presented in the form of a diagnostic category (concept) denoting the state or a statement (conclusion) about the causes of this state. Psychological status is assessed at three levels: operational, emotional-volitional and personal. Psychophysiological indicators such as endurance, intelligence, speech, memory, and emotions are subject to analysis and evaluation. The internal picture of the disease is studied, to what extent the person managed to psychologically adapt first to the very fact of the development of the disease, and then to its medical and social consequences, whether there is a tendency to fixate on painful experiences.
