The tool for collecting information was the library method. The quality of life, in a way, expresses the situation of people living in a country or region. In general, the quality of life can be calculated using subjective and objective indicators. Subjective indicators reflect people's subjective evaluation of life. Health is the foundation of the development and progress of society in all economic, cultural, and social dimensions. It is impossible to imagine a society without imaginary health. The consequences of mental health problems are many and wide-ranging. In the last three decades, the concept of quality of life as an interdisciplinary concept in various fields such as political science, sociology, psychology, educational science, management, environmental science, and health-related science due to its role in the mental health of people is being studied. The results of this study showed that emotional disorders, behavioral disorders, eating disorders, psychosis, suicide and self-harm, risk-taking behaviors, epidemics, etc. affect the quality of life of teenagers. Therefore, it is suggested that the World Health Organization, in cooperation with national authorities, adopt strategies to improve the quality of life of adolescents in the field of mental and social health.
