Abstract: Relevance of the study. Given that in recent years the situation in Ukraine is characterized by continuously growing demands and psychological stress on the younger generation, which are determined by the action of various mass psychogenic factors, studies were conducted among "socially isolated" social and biological orphans, "socially neglected" adolescents due to the "migration boom" and in asocial families. The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize the factors that led to the growth of disorders in the mental sphere. The novelty of the work is to argue the mechanism that causes changes in the structure of the individual's mental activity, when an unformed personality (adolescent), remaining emotionally isolated in society from a person close to him (most often his mother), for different periods of his life in terms of duration, finds himself in conditions of psychological discomfort, which contributes to the emergence of non-psychotic and psychotic mental disorders and behavioral disorders. Conclusion. Considering that there are no generally accepted epidemiological data on the prevalence of social functioning disorders (ICD-10. F 94) due to: emotional social deprivation (ESD), which arose in children deprived of parental care; biological deprivation (BD) due to true orphanhood; social and maternal deprivation (SMD) due to labor migration of an emotionally important person in their life, most often a mother; family deprivation (SD) due to misunderstanding in the family and social and psychological deprivation (SPD) due to disruption in interpersonal relationships with peers or elders among children of different ages in Ukraine. All this determined the relevance and prospects of the conducted studies in the dynamics (2002-2006)
