Abstract

Background: With respect to the high prevalence of mental disorders world wide, and their importance when occurred during ADOLESCENCE, this study was conducted to evaluate the general MENTAL HEALTH status of adolescents in district 13 in TEHRAN as a part of TEHRAN Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).Materials and methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional Study, 346 adolescents, 12-19 years old, were randomly selected. A demographic questionnaire as well as General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) which had already been validated for the Iranian population, were gathered by face-to-face interview. We have considered score of 6 as cut off point. Freedman, chi squared and Mann Whitney tests were used, when appropriate. Results: The study population included 150 males and 196 females. Totally, 184 subjects (53.2%) were suspected to have some kinds of mental disorders. The mean (SD) score of GHQ was 6.9±5.1 with the median of 6. The means of each of the subscales of the questionnaire were 0.9 ± 1.4 for somatic system 1.3 ± 1.7 for anxiety and sleep disorders, 3.7 ± 2.0 for social dysfunction and 1.0 ± 1.7 for depression. The median of these subscales were 0, 1, 4, 0, respectively. Compared with other subscales, subjects with social dysfunction had lower MENTAL HEALTH statues (p<0.001). Females were affected more frequently than males (65% vs. 35%, p<0.001).Conclusion: More than half of the subjects were suspected of having some kinds of mental disorders, the frequency of females being higher. With respect to the importance of MENTAL HEALTH in ADOLESCENCE, investigating the risk factors of mental disorders, especially the social dysfunction scale, in future studies is recommended.
