Sweden conducted individual or intensive group discussions in 48 interviews with children aged 13 to 16. Adolescents believe that mental health is an emotional experience in which positive and negative health is part of this concept. Families are the most important determinants of psychological health of adolescence, and friends pay close attention. Girls and boys do not believe there is a big difference in mental health between girls and boys. In recognition of children's mental health, age difference seems to be more important than sex difference.
