Selection criteria included relevance to subject areas; search period was 2010–2025.</p> <p>In 2021–2023, the following indicators per 100,000 population increased in Russia: 1) the number of mental disorders recorded in newly diagnosed patients; 2) the number of patients newly diagnosed with alcoholism and alcoholic psychosis and put under observation. The degradation was preceded by a period of negative experiences in Russians.</p> <p>According to various studies, a significant portion of individuals exhibit signs of depression and anxiety, and high levels of psychoemotional stress. Such conditions are more common in women and persons with low income. In some studies, signs of psychoemotional distress are more often recorded in young people, whereas other report that they are more common in older age groups. There is evidence of the influence of employment and marital status on the level of psychoemotional stress. The studies differ in their instruments, sample population (including age limits), and approaches to data analysis and interpretation.</p> <p>To identify risk groups, make forecasts, and assess the mental health status of the population, it should be monitored. It is required to study the changes in stress coping methods, including destructive (alcohol consumption and smoking).</p> <p>The number of people seeking professional psychological and psychotherapeutic advice has increased over the past 15–20 years. In 2024, surveys showed that 10%–15% of Russians had such an experience. Today, education of the population on the ways to improve the ability to cope with stress and psychotherapeutic and psychological support is essential. We should focus parents’ attention on the prevention of anxiety in children and make stress relief techniques part of the curriculum.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Стремительное изменение жизни современного человека и появление новых стрессогенных факторов обусловливают необходимость регулярного анализа состояния ментального здоровья населения.</p> <p>Учитывая, что наиболее часто встречающимися психическими заболеваниями являются депрессия и тревожные расстройства, а типичными реакциями на стресс — тревога и депрессия, в статье акцент сделан на исследованиях распространённости симптомов этих состояний среди россиян.</p> <p>Цель исследования — проанализировать статистику заболеваемости психическими расстройствами взрослого населения РФ, обобщить данные исследований о распространённости психоэмоционального стресса, симптомов депрессивных и тревожных состояний, а также данные опросов граждан о способах преодоления стресса, включая обращение к специалистам.</p> <p>В основе статьи лежит анализ документов из открытого доступа: научных публикаций из базы РИНЦ (<italic>n</italic>=47), выпусков и обзоров ФОМ (<italic>n</italic>=6), ВЦИОМ (<italic>n</italic>=5), Левада-Центра* (<italic>n</italic>=1). Критерии отбора: релевантность тематическим направлениям; поисковый запрос источников — 2010–2025 гг.</p> <p>В 2021–2023 гг. в РФ повысились показатели на 100 тыс. населения: 1) числа заболеваний психическими расстройствами, зарегистрированных у пациентов с впервые в жизни установленным диагнозом; 2) числа пациентов, взятых под наблюдение с впервые в жизни установленным диагнозом «алкоголизм» и «алкогольные психозы». Ухудшению показателей предшествовал период негативных переживаний россиян.</p> <p>По данным различных исследований, значительная часть граждан имеет признаки депрессивных и/или тревожных состояний, высокий уровень психоэмоционального стресса. Отмечается, что такие состояния чаще встречаются среди женщин и лиц с низким уровнем дохода. В ряде исследований признаки психоэмоционального неблагополучия чаще фиксируются у молодёжи, в других — у людей старших возрастных групп. Имеются данные о влиянии занятости и семейного статуса на уровень психоэмоционального стресса. Исследования различаются по инструментарию, выборочной совокупности (в частности, по возрастным границам) и по подходам к анализу и интерпретации данных.</p> <p>Для выделения групп риска, построения прогнозов и оценки состояния ментального здоровья населения страны крайне важно проводить его мониторинг. Изучения требует динамика способов преодоления стресса, включая деструктивные формы (употребление алкоголя, курение).</p> <p>Обращаемость за профессиональной психологической и психотерапевтической помощью к специалистам повысилась за последние 15–20 лет. Опросы, проведённые в 2024 году, показали, что опыт обращения к ним имеют 10–15% россиян. В настоящее время особую значимость приобретает распространение среди населения знаний о возможностях повышения стрессоустойчивости, о психотерапевтической и психологической помощи. Необходимо привлекать внимание родителей к профилактике тревожности у детей и обучать приёмам снятия напряжения в системе образования.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>mental health</kwd><kwd>mental disorders</kwd><kwd>stress</kwd><kwd>depression</kwd><kwd>anxiety</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ментальное здоровье</kwd><kwd>психические расстройства</kwd><kwd>стресс</kwd><kwd>депрессия</kwd><kwd>тревожное состояние</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group><fn xml:lang="en"><p>** Included in the register of non-profit organizations performing the functions of a foreign agent.</p></fn><fn xml:lang="ru"><p>* Внесена в реестр некоммерческих организаций, выполняющих функции иностранного агента.</p></fn></fn-group></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Shal'nova SA, Evstifeeva SE, Deev AD, et al.
