Summary/Abstract: The issue of mental disorders has become a permanent part of social life. The increasingly better diagnostics and possibilities of supporting people with mental disorders highlights this phenomenon in modern society. Knowledge of others about the functioning and help of people with mental disorders affects their quality of life and the possibility of social inclusion. Research conducted on a group of over 1000 secondary school students and students from nine provinces in Poland revealed gaps and gaps in both the knowledge of mental disorders and the way in which such people function in the environment. That is why it is so important to educate generations in this area so that every person can fully enjoy their social rights and fulfill themselves to the best of their abilities.
