Abstrakt		In the present research depression and anxiety were evaluated in the sample of 81 secondary school adolescents, hospitalised at Adolescent Department of the Centre for Mental Health in Ljubljana. The results were compared with 122 secondary school students, representing a normal population. In our sample we tried to find out the risk factors which have a decisive impact on anxiety and depression. Suicidal behavior expresses significantly higher levels of depression. Anxiety does not have the same predictable value. There is no correlation between occasional adolescent consumption of alcohol and depression. A protective factor against are large families with two or more children. We found no influence on depression, when mental disease exists among family members. Depression and anxiety are connected with significantly lower self-image. There is the same persuasive connection between high depression and religiosity in girls. Our sample is divided into seven diagnostical groups, classified according to ICD 10 classification. Both psychological tests we used have a limited value in dividing depressive from other nonpsychotic disorders. The highest level of depression was present in a diagnostical group with conduct disorders. On the contrary, the depression was the lowest in a group of adolescents, who were admitted to the hospital as depressed. STAI has no discriminative value for diagnosis of mental disorders in adolescents. The most important result of the study was the finding of the highest level of depression in adolescents with conduct disorders which was somehow unexpected. This finding has a significant value for clinical work with adolescent patients.
