Summary/Abstract: The “Strengths and difficulties” questionnaire and The Mental Health Index were administered to school-aged children to study different aspects of mental health. 4854 Bulgarian adolescents (11, 13 and 15 yrs) coming from a country representative sample were investigated. The comparison of the results from these two different mental health measures show that worsening of mental health has a strong impact on the feeling for wellbeing and health-related quality of life, leading to their worsening too. Statistically significant sex and age differences are revealed – boys compared to girls as a whole give higher assessment of their mental health and more often define it as excellent; for both boys and girls with age a tendency for reporting of poorer mental health is observed.
