The globalization of the modern singular world has led to a dynamic development of both communicable and non-communicable types of epidemiology. The need to consider pandemics as a tool for civilizational management and evolutionary engineering of public health and consciousness is justified. The closest relationship between the biological reservoirs of renewable strains in animals and humans is shown for historical models of influenza pandemics. The constantly increasing difference in the life expectancy of people and animals turns acquired immunity into an instrument for the evolutionary renewal of mental immunity as a biopsychosociospiritual identity matrix and the basis for the security of the individual and society. The management of new risks and the multimodal navigation of the “viral management” of human evolution are becoming priorities for the modern mental phase of the technological revolution. Particular attention is paid to the integrative forms of assistance based on the synergetic methodology of mental medicine. The peculiarity of the modern hybrid world is a steady increase in the prevalence of all major mental disorders, which is suggested to be designated as a pandemic of mental immunodeficiency. In the model of early childhood psychic traumatization, clinical manifestations of mental immunity dysfunctions as a multimodal interface between personality identity and habitat are described. Thus, the “missing link” between etiopathogenesis and clinical pathoplasty of early symptom formation is found. Block-modular protocols of early intervention based on the technological platform of mental medicine are proposed. The famous expression of Nobel laureate Peter Medawar is appropriately supplemented by the mission of mental medicine, which embodies and implements project models of quality and style, the image and meaning of life in adaptive engineering and self-management of consciousness and health.
