Aim: to assess the asthenia and depression level in children with tension-type headaches (TTH), and their social role in the bullying structure of the school class. Results and discussion: in the social relations context, it was revealed that adolescents with TTH most often have such types of accentuations as emotiveness (17,25 ± 2,12) and hyperthymicity (16,12 ± 4,51). Besides, the adolescents have subdepression with a predominance of such symptoms as ineffectiveness at school and their own ineffectiveness. The mean score for depression was 61,22 ± 12,36. A low level of asthenia was revealed (53,78 ± 7,08), the level of depression was above average (61,22 ± 12,36). In the bullying structure of the class, the use of the role of the defender is often noted (9,22 ± 2,33), the responses characteristic of the initiators of the bullying are least often chosen (4,11 ± 2,67). Conclusion: despite of the fact that children suffer from TTH, they want to remain active members of society, show goodwill towards their team, and are not prone to aggression; they cannot always assess their positive qualities objectively, which is why they can be dissatisfied with themselves, have an intrapersonal conflict in view of the prevalence of the Ideal Self over the Real Self, and also tend to form an accentuated personality with emotive and hyperthymic features.
