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 HealthQuality) of the European Social Survey to present the quality of life of the disabled persons. Iapplied qualtitative methodology to investigate specifities of life course in case of people livingwith 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 physicalsubjective well-being. According to the narrative interviews the quality of life of people livingwith psychiatric diagnose is largely influenced by their adaptive and coping strategies aiming topreserve the balance of their mental status.
