The purpose of the paper is to analyze the specifics of the course of mental states in adolescents living in family deprivation conditions. This problem is relevant, because the experience of mental states plays an important role in the process of adaptation and socialization of children, in the development of communication and interaction skills, in personal development, and in emotional volitional sphere formation.

It has been shown that the experience is characterized by poverty and a small coverage of used mental states characteristics and by the stinginess of the content.
