The psychical health of 40-year-old inhabitants of the City and the (former) Province of Poznan, Poland were examined as part of a larger research project on their general state of health. The study focused on the incidence of past psychical disorders among the subjects themselves, their parents, their siblings, and their children. The perceptions of the study group with respect to their own emotional frame of mind and duration of sleep and its quality were also analyzed. The results indicate a generally favorable state of psychical health for the studied group within the measured categories.
