Abstract: Abstract Adolescence is characterized by rapid physical, mental and physiological development, as well as by the adolescent’s own mental health protection, which is of particular importance. In this study we aim to determine whether certain social anreferend emotional behaviors of high school students, are associated with achieving and maintaining a state of mental and emotional well-being. The study included 439 10th grade high school students in Yerevan, who each completed a survey as well as a biosocial questionnaire to evaluate their lifestyle characteristics and attitudes toward their own health. From the study results, we further evaluate the impact of several determining factors related to the development of adolescent mental health. Such factors include personal relationships that form between adolescents and adults, difficulties arising during the adjustment to a new learning system, insufficient and restless sleep, and the social environment within the family that leads to occurrences of anxiety and health-related complaints.
