  The paper aims at demonstrating the quality of life of the people living with psychiatic diagnosis.
  I used the data stemming from the standard and specific module (Social Inequalities in Health
  Quality) of the European Social Survey to present the quality of life of the disabled persons. I
  applied qualtitative methodology to investigate specifities of life course in case of people living
  with psychiatric diagnosis. My results suggest that people defining themselves as ’disabled’
  differ from non-hampered population first of all in the indicators of emotional and physical
  subjective well-being. According to the narrative interviews the quality of life of people living
  with psychiatric diagnose is largely influenced by their adaptive and coping strategies aiming to
  preserve the balance of their mental status.
