Abstract
Subject. Chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis affects the physical condition of a person, as well as the psychology of their behavior, emotional reactions, as well as their role in social life. Doctors are not always set up to assess the quality of life and patient satisfaction with the therapy. The peculiarity of this disease is the vastness of its clinical manifestations, and the need to start treatment in a timely manner, and patients taking medications themselves, affects poor adherence to treatment. These characteristics have an impact on the quality of life, and if the quality of life improves as a result of therapy, this motivates patients to effectively control their condition.
 Goal ― to assess the quality of life, frequency and severity of anxiety and depressive disorders in cadets with chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis.
 Methodology. We conducted a survey of 140 cadets aged 18 to 25 years.
 Results.The revealed patterns suggest that bleeding, gum pain,and halitosis often contribute to the clinical manifestation of anxiety and depressive disorders in cadets with chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis, thereby impairing the quality of life. The combination of various metabolic factors in a closed circle mutually increases the severity of not only clinical manifestations of chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis, but also affects the mental status of the patient, increasing the degree of neurosis-like manifestations
 Conclusion. Chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis significantly affects the decline in indicators of not only physical health, but also mental well-being. High levels of anxiety and depression are most significantly correlated with indicators of mental and physical health of cadets . Thus, anxiety and depression of a somatogenic nature has a negative impact on the quality of life, aggravates the course of the underlying disease, significantly affecting the General well-being of the patient.
