 The purpose of the work is to assess the state of the mental sphere of relatives, who cared for patients with dementia, to determine the need to develop a goal-oriented system of therapy and rehabilitation measures for this contingent. In compliance with the requirements of biomedical ethics, we examined 153 relatives (children) who lived together and/or cared for patients with dementia. A comprehensive examination included clinical-psychopathological and psychometric studies. M. Hamilton’s HDRS and HARS depression and anxiety scales and the L. Derogatis SCL-90-R psychopathological symptomatology scale were used. The mental health status of relatives considering care needs with dementia varied, including normal mental health status (16.9 %), mental maladjustment (54.9 %), and clinically defined adjustment disorder F43.2 (28.1 %).
