Objective. This study aimed to establish practical evidence of the leading role of somatic factors in psychosomatic health disorders in the early stages of the mental development of children and adolescents. Materials and methods. An interview method was used to obtain complete and reliable historical data for children and youth who applied for primary medical care. In addition, an anonymous questioning method was implemented. It allowed gathering of a reliable database of basic information on the psychosomatic health of children and adolescents in the Western European region. A study enrolled a sample of 1000 children, including 498 girls and 502 boys, aged 13 to 18 years. Results and Discussion. Psychosomatic pathologies were detected in 54% of cases, of which 63% were female. The influence of somatic factors on psychosomatic pathology progression was found to be greater in the early stages of mental development. Conclusion. The study’s findings may serve as a primary basis for understanding the role of somatization factors on psychosomatic disorders in children and adolescents in the early stages of mental development. The study also highlights the need to enhance the methodological basis for preventing psychosomatic disorders in children and adolescents.

BACKGROUND: Mental health is one of the most significant components of overall health conditions. Mental health well-being results from genetic, psychological, and neuropsychological processes interacting with environmental and social influences. AIM: The study aims to examine the impact of noise on the psyche of megapolis adolescents and determine their levels of anxiety, depression, and stress susceptibility depending on the level of noise. MATHERIAL AND METHOD: The study included 322 adolescents (180 girls and 142 boys) aged 15 to 17 years, divided into two groups. RESULTS: Higher noise levels lead to greater vulnerability of adolescents to depression, anxiety, and stress. High noise levels provoke a 1.56 times (p < 0.05) greater incidence of depression on the HAM-D scale than among adolescents living with lower noise levels. Constant exposure to moderate noise levels showed 1.60 times (p < 0.05) higher anxiety levels on the HAM-A scale. CONCLUSION: High noise levels adversely affect the psyche of megapolis adolescents. The higher the noise level, the more adolescents were exposed to depression, anxiety, and stress. Increased noise levels negatively affect the psyche of megapolis adolescents.
