In a continuous one-stage observational study, 240 children from seven orphanages were examined in order to conduct a clinical and epidemiological analysis of the mental health status of children left without parental care. Analysis of the study showed the presence of mental disorders in 73% of children, among which the leading place (26%) is occupied by socialized behavior disorder (F91.2). Almost every other pupil of the examined orphanages has behavior disorders (60%) in the form of aggression, negativity, vagrancy and suicidal behavior. 16% of pupils committed illegal actions. It is also noted that children have anxiety, depression of various levels and accentuations of the character of hyperthymic, demonstrative types.
